Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The reccurent fungal infection particularly candidiasis can occur secondary to immunocomromised state like diabetes, following radiotherapy or any steroid therapy. So nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can use topical antifungal agents like clotrimazole, which is very effective in fungal infections.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
