I am a studying herbalist, and I have found candida albicans to have a tremendous effect on hormonal balance and I can see that it would also interupt normal hormonal development. Have you tried taking Grapefruit seed extract to combat the candida? If that doesn't get it under control enough, I highly recommend Guna brand GF- Candida homeopathic, it will have candida under control within a day or two, but make sure to balance all of that out with a high quality probiotic. Drinking Kombucha tea on a regular basis can provide probiotics and help with candida also, but just as maintainence, not as a cure. And you are right, acne, rashes, weight gain, and other not so favorable side effects all come from candida over growth. As a rule of thumb to know if you need to increase you suppliments, take a look at your tongue, and if it is white, you need to increase what you are doing to control the candida. Hope this helps.
