Question

I am infected and i guess it has overgrowth since i has been very sick in hospital, but my question is, can be candida responsable for inflamation in skin, i had a surgery was healed now is very inflamated, iguess it is connected with candida on skin, is it possible?

Answer 1

Yes, candida can cause inflammation in the skin and inflammation promotes the colonization of Candida. Since you are recovering from surgery I would recommend avoiding trans fats, sugar, white bread and alcohol. They will only increase the risk of inflammation. I would recommend eating foods with omega-3 fatty acids or you can buy omega-3 supplements which is also a great option. This is because omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory.
