Candidiasis: Other Forms

Treatment:

• Administer topical or systemic antifungal agents.
• If dentures are involved, ensure they are removed at night, properly cleaned, and soaked in liquid antifungal medication.
• New dentures may be needed to improve fit or increase the vertical dimension of the mouth to prevent recurrence.
• In cases of angular cheilitis unresponsive to topical antifungals, topical antibiotics may be needed to cover for staph.
