B37. 9 - Candidiasis, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code B37. 2 for Candidiasis of skin and nail is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
A male yeast infection is a fungal infection caused by a yeast called Candida. It's also known as Candida balanitis. Candida balanitis causes a red, itchy rash on the head of your penis. Candida grow and thrive in warm, moist environments such as the foreskin of uncircumcised people.

2: Candidiasis of skin and nail.
In cutaneous candidiasis, the skin is infected with candida fungi. This type of infection is fairly common. It can involve almost any skin on the body, but most often it occurs in warm, moist, creased areas such as the armpits and groin. The fungus that most often causes cutaneous candidiasis is Candida albicans.
The most common cause of balanitis is the poor hygiene of an uncircumcised penis. Poor hygiene can lead to a buildup of dead skin, bacteria, sweat, and other debris that can cause inflammation. Infection with Candida albicans is another common cause. Candida is the fungus that causes thrush.
The most common cause of balanitis is poor hygiene in uncircumcised males. Other causes include: Genital yeast infection (candidiasis). Sexually transmitted diseases.
There are three main types of balanitis: Zoon's balanitis, which is the most common, circinate balanitis, which relates to reactive arthritis, and pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis, which leads to wart-like growths.
Balanitis is not a sexually transmitted disease. It results from an overgrowth of organisms (typically yeast or fungi) which are normally present on the skin of the glans. These yeast are present in both circumcised and uncircumcised men.
Balanitis is most often caused by a fungal infection, like a yeast infection, but bacterial infections can cause it, too. This most often happens as a result of improper hygiene, especially because the foreskin can trap moisture, creating the perfect environment for fungus and bacteria to thrive.
Some forms of balanitis can be contagious, such as those caused by infectious bacteria, viruses, or fungi. If the balanitis is caused by an infection, it is contagious until the infection has been treated and cured.
Balanitis is not a sexually transmitted infection. The actual disease is not transferable from one person to another; however, the transfer of organisms that cause balanitis is possible.
Infection with a fungus of the genus candida; usually a superficial infection of the moist areas of the body and is generally caused by candida albicans; includes chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, cutaneous candidiasis, oral candidiasis (thrush), and monilial vaginitis.
A condition in which candida albicans, a type of yeast, grows out of control in moist skin areas of the body. It is usually a result of a weakened immune system, but can be a side effect of chemotherapy or treatment with antibiotics. Thrush usually affects the mouth (oral thrush); however, rarely, it spreads throughout the entire body.
