Diaper Rash and Nail Yeast Infection
Candida Yeast Infection can impact both genders from all walks of life, young and old alike. Which parts of the body are Candida symptoms showing? Of course you will say in the genitals. But it can show in any part of the body!
Like I said, it can affect anyone. Candida yeast infection can be such a pain in the neck. There is what we call Diaper Rash Yeast Infection. A yeast infection can affect babies who are not older than two and even adults who wear diapers. And of course, it can take place after taking antibiotics.
Candida thrives in moist areas. That said, one of the symptoms that come with Candida infection in infants wearing diapers is the skin irritation in the area diaper touches the skin. Diaper rashes will appear as bright red splotches. The rash is usually seen on the buttock, genitals and in skin folds.
The infection can also be seen under the finger and toenails. A nail Candida infection usually happens when one is exposed to water for long periods of time or those who have gotten a poorly done manicure.
One of the symptoms of Candida, in the nail bed, is its red appearance and it is almost always swollen. Additionally, in severe cases, the toe or fingernail could separate from the skin and the nail would be white in color or yellow.
Q&A: How does having a yeast infection affect my partner?

It’s very rare for him to catch something just by going down on you, unless he’s down there for hours. He must not do it often or he would have told you it was getting funky and you could have been checked out sooner.
During intercourse its possible for the yeast to enter through his urethra. The chances of spreading the infection to the partner depends on the severity of the infection and the frequency of unprotected sex.
It can cause the symptom of “Burning during urination” which can be mistaken for a UTI (Urinary Track Infection) or STD until he can visit a doctor and have a simple urinalysis test to identify the culture growth.
If you have a yeast infection (or are still recovering from one) you need to tell your partner(s) so that (if they start feeling symptoms) they can get checked out and have some idea what to expect. If you don’t tell him he may go to the doctor’s assuming he has a normal UTI, and the doc is lazy (or your partner insist “no need for test”) and just provides antibiotics without testing, the problem will just get worse. Normal antibiotics are not designed to affect yeast, they requier a different treatment than UTIs.
He may just jump to the conclusion that his burning symptom is an STD and assume you’ve been cheating on him. He’ll be more likely to assume an STD if he already took antibiotics for a UTI and they didn’t work because (like above) he didn’t have the urinalysis done.
You need to tell your partner(s) every time you get (or think your getting) a yeast infection so that they know what’s really going on and that you don’t create an atmosphere of mistrust in the relationship. Mature guys will understand and know that yeast infections can manifest under a variety of conditions (she’s taking antibiotics, using tampons, has hormone/biochemical changes, etc.) and are a common (and usually harmless) occurance for women.

Can a yeast infection affect your labia minora?
Question by : Can a yeast infection affect your labia minora?
I noticed that after I had a long 2 month yeast infection my labia minora became a brownish color and before it had been pinkish is this due to the yeast infection? If so will it ever go back to pink once the infection is fully cured?

That’s probably just the natural color of it. If you’re in your teen years you’re still maturing down there. It isn’t exactly abnormal for it to be brown. If you feel uncomfortable just Google pictures of it and you’ll see that everyone is different. Lol. If you still have a yeast infection you should see your gyne.

Q&A: Can a untreated yeast infection affect other parts of your body?
Question by Pretty Lady: Can a untreated yeast infection affect other parts of your body?
My friend has a yeast infection, but because she has diabetes her doctor says nothing can be done about it to get rid of it completely. She has experienced severe pain in her head for the past week, can this be due to her yeast infection?

Yeast infections can spread from your vagina to your bladder, from your bladder to your kidneys, and from your kidneys into your bloodstream. When the infection is released into the bloodstream, it can be spread to all organs. This is called septicemia. It can lead to any number of fatal conditions, including endocarditis (infection of the heart) and meningitis (infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord). Your friend should definitely see a doctor as soon as possible!
