In addition, humidity, friction, mental and nervous factors and seasonal climate can induce or aggravate the disease.

3. Candida infection

Cause: Candida infection is a fungal infection. Diabetic patients have high sugar content in their bodies, poor resistance, and fungi are easy to grow; chronic disease patients who often use immunosuppressants, anti-tumor drugs, and hormones have poor body resistance and are also difficult to resist fungal invasion; long-term use of antibiotics will cause flora imbalance, which is conducive to fungal reproduction; having sex with women with the disease may also cause infection.
