Treatment first aims to improve the underlying condition that predisposes the patient to candidiasis, such as controlling diabetes or discontinuing antibiotic therapy and catheterization, if possible.
Nystatin is an effective antifungal for superficial candidiasis. Clotrimazole, fluconazole, ketoconazole, and miconazole are effective in mucous-membrane and vaginal candidal infections. Ketoconazole or fluconazole is the treatment of choice for chronic candidiasis of the mucous membranes. Treatment for systemic infection consists of I.V. amphotericin B or fluconazole.

Treatment aims to control infection but isn’t always successful. Topical antifungal agents, such as clotrimazole, miconazole, and nystatin, are useful. They may be prescribed as mouthwashes or troches (lozenges) for 5 to 10 days.
Systemic infections may not be fatal, but they’re serious enough to warrant vigorous treatment. Ketoconazole and fluconazole have had some positive effect. Oral or I.M. iron replacement may also be necessary. Treatment may also include plastic surgery of the lesions, when possible, and counseling to help patients cope with their disfigurement.
