Background

Cutaneous Candidiasis is an infection of the skin caused

by the fungus Candida. It may involve any skin surface

on the body, but usually occurs in warm, moist creased

areas, such as the armpit, groin and skin folds. Symptoms

of a candida infection may include itching, painful skin

lesions/ulcerations, odor and rash. The rash may appear

as erythema or inﬂammation with enlarged macules or

papules. Satellite lesions are typically present.

Objective

To evaluate Remedy Antifungal Cream on bariatric

patients with clinically diagnosed Cutaneous Candida and

document the improvement of their overall skin health.

Methodology

Five morbidly obese patients were treated in a hospital

setting for approximately one week. Criteria assessed

included fungal growth, pruritus, erythema/inﬂammation,

skin ulcerations, pain and odor control. Remedy Antifungal

Cream was applied to the affected skin of the patients on

an as-needed basis. The skin was monitored daily for a

week by the researchers.

Results

It was observed that each of the patients studied had

resolution of the infection over the course of the study.

In addition, quality of life indicators studied improved for

each patient. No adverse events related to the use of the

products were observed.
