I assume you mean "Candida albicans" (a kind of fungus often associated with yeast infections).
For local infections such as vaginal candidiasis in women, antifungal medications are the main treatment. Over - the - counter antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole can be applied to the affected area. These creams work by directly attacking the fungal cell membrane and inhibiting the growth and reproduction of the Candida.
In more severe cases or for infections in other parts of the body (such as oral thrush), oral antifungal drugs like fluconazole may be prescribed. Fluconazole is effective in systemic treatment as it can be absorbed into the bloodstream and reach different infection sites. During treatment, it's important to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid factors that may exacerbate the infection, such as wearing tight - fitting and non - breathable clothing.
