The fact is that we all have yeast in our bodies and an overgrowth leading to infection can happen to anyone.

Symptoms are quite easy to spot if you know what to look for.
The sooner you realize that you have a yeast infection the sooner you can start treating it and ensure a quick recovery.

· White spots on the rash.
· Rash that has a clear or yellowish discharge · White spots in mouth or on the tongue (indicate Thrush - more common in babies or those with a severely weakened immune system) These symptoms can be found anywhere on the body but are most common on areas that trap heat and moisture such as between the toes (athletes foot), under the breasts, under the arms, in skin folds, the genitals and between the thighs.
The rash is usually itchy, tender and hot to the touch and won't clear up with the usual creams and remedies one might use on a rash.
