What is Yeast Infection
Skin Yeast Infections Overview
Yeast infections occur when the normal levels of acid and yeast are out of balance, which allows yeast to overgrow causing an uncomfortable, but not serious, condition called yeast infection. Candidiasis, also known as candida albicans is by far the most common type of yeast infection.
Candidiasis infections normally occur in the warm and moist areas of our body, such as underarms and groin area. Typical affected areas in babies include the mouth and diaper areas.
Examples of these infections are:
Vaginal yeast infections / vaginal candidiasis
Male yeast infection
Oral thrush
Children yeast infections
Yeast infections can occur in women, men, and children. But by far women have the largest occurrence of yeast infections.
In adults, as we get older, oral yeast infections become more common. Adults can also have yeast infections around dentures, under the breast and lower abdomen, nailbeds, and beneath other skin folds. However, most of these infections clear up easily with treatment.
