- Soreness or redness in the affected area
- Difficulty swallowing
- Genital Candidiasis:
- Itching and burning sensation in the genital area
- Cottage cheese-like discharge in women
- Redness and swelling in the affected area
- Cutaneous Candidiasis (Skin):
- Red, itchy rash with white scales
- May affect areas of skin that are warm and moist
- Invasive Candidiasis (Internal organs):

It’s important to note that these symptoms can vary in severity, and not everyone with a Candida infection will experience all of them. If you suspect you have a white fungus infection, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
