i got the answer
it is Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis with endocrinopathy (or Candidal Endocrinopathy Syndrome) The specific term "autoimmune polyendocrinopathy -candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED)" has been used when the clinical picture combines multiple autoimmune endocrinopathies, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, and ectodermal dystrophies .This is an autosomal recessive autoimmune disease that has been shown to be caused by mutations of a single gene named autoimmune regulator (AIRE) .
it presents during infancy with persistent "diaper rash". Cutaneous candidiasis becomes more extensive later on, and onychomycosis also occurs. The endocrine dysfunctions can manifest any time during life, and usually follow a sequential pattern
endocrinopathies include
Hypoparathyroidism
Hypoadrenalism
Ovary deficiency
Gonadal failure
Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Hypothyroidism
