Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis (CMC) "is an immune disorder of T cells, it is characterized by chronic infections with Candida that are limited to mucosal surfaces, skin, and nails." [1] One report states, "Heterozygous STAT1 gain-of-function (GOF) mutations result in a combined form of immunodeficiency which is the most common genetic cause of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC)." [2] This same report connects "chronic demodicosis in the form of a facial papulopustular eruption, blepharitis, and chalazion" with CMC. This could also be described as demodectic rosacea. 

Candida has been connected to rosacea in at least one paper. [3]
