Itchy private parts (like you would like a wire brush) is the big one. Yeasty smelling discharge. Call the doctor if you have never had one, but once you have had one you will never forget.

Manifestation
In immunocompetent people, candidiasis can usually only be found in exposed and moist parts of the body[1], such as:

the oral cavity (oral thrush)
the vagina and/or vulva (vaginal candidiasis or thrush)
folds of skin in the diaper area (diaper rash)
Candidiasis is the second most common cause of vaginal irritation or vaginitis, and can also occur on the male genitals, particularly in uncircumcised men.

In immunocompromised patients, the Candida infection can involve the esophagus and can become systemic, causing a much more serious condition, fungemia.

Children, mostly between 3 and 9 years old, can be affected by chronic mouth yeast infections. It is normally seen around the mouth as white patches. However, this is not a very common condition


Symptoms

Symptoms include severe itching, burning, and soreness, and irritation of the vagina and/or vulva, and a whitish or whitish-gray discharge that may have a "yeasty" smell like beer or baking bread. It may resemble cottage cheese.

Many women mistake the symptoms of the more common bacterial vaginosis for a yeast infection. In a 2002 study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, only 33 percent of women who were self treating for a yeast infection actually had a yeast infection. Instead they had either bacterial vaginosis or a mixed-type infection. Currently, bacterial vaginosis can only be diagnosed by a doctor
