General hygiene is vital to the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis. Exposure to air as much as possible is helpful in drying the skin. If possible, discontinue antibiotics or other medications that may increase the risk of Candida infection. Topical or systemic antifungal medications may be used to treat the infection. Treatment may need to be prolonged.
Recurrence is common.
