The sugar secreted by your sweat or urine can cause yeast on the skin to multiply and easily cause an infection.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Diabetes also lowers your immune system response, making it even easier for candida to take over. However, it is essential to note that controlling your diabetes and sugar spikes can significantly reduce the risk of getting skin candidiasis.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hormonal Imbalances<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the hormone estrogen can cause an imbalance of candida and, eventually, an infection.
