By candida, you mean Candida albicans, yes?

Yes, you can get C. albicans in your vaginal area.  In fact, it's actually part of your normal flora.  It's a common cause of yeast infections but only causes them when there is a pH imbalance due to various reasons.  I don't think these pimples would be related to C. albicans, though.  You might get them checked out just to see what it is.
