2. Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis

Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is a long-lasting condition caused by an overgrowth of a fungal organism called Candida, which normally lives on our skin and in our bodies. This condition primarily affects the skin, nails, and mucous membranes like the mouth and genitals. People with this condition may experience persistent infections that lead to discomfort, swelling, and white patches. It often occurs in individuals with weakened immune systems or specific genetic factors. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications and addressing any underlying health issues to help manage symptoms and reduce recurrence.
