Candida albicans are fungi that inhabit the surfaces of our bodies and occasionally cause an infection.

Systemic yeast infection symptoms of the skin usually occur in the warm, moist areas of the body. Normally, the skin blocks the growth of the yeast, but if there are scrapes or cuts on an area where the fungi exist, that area becomes susceptible to a systemic yeast infection. Adults become more susceptible to systemic yeast infections as they age and can be infected in areas like the mouth, under the breasts, lower stomach, and various other folds in the skin. Women are prone to yeast infections, another form of systemic yeast infection.
