Fungi of the genus Candida are the physiological flora of the oral cavity. They can lead to the development of ringworm if there are favorable conditions for excessive growth. If you do not feel any symptoms indicating oral candidiasis (e.g. thrush, mucositis, corners of the mouth) there is no reason to worry. Otherwise, consult a doctor.
