A Skin Rash Might Be a Sign That You Have a Yeast
Infection
Do lesions and rashes on your skin point to a yeast infection?
Before we discuss the relationship between those symptoms and yeast infection with Candida, we should quickly
examine what yeast infection really is and how Candida infection can appear on skin with symptoms that maybe
internal or external.
When your body is healthy, the bacteria in your
intestines and your immune system cooperate to keep Candida in check. But if the beneficial bacteria disappear,
if your body is under serious stress or if you eat a lot of fat food, which gives Candida the chance to over
grow and infect, then this wrecks the balance with the beneficial microorganisms. Yeast is the scientific term
for fungus that only has one cell. The type of yeast which is most often present in your body is called candida
and the infections that can be caused by these yeast microbes are called candidiasis or yeast infections.
Candida grows rapidly and becomes fungal when conditions allow. It then pierces the intestinal tissue to get
into the bloodstream and to spread the yeast infection everywhere in the body.
Candidiasis can have local and also systemic
manifestations as far as the body goes. Candidal skin infection which is yeast skin infection is one of the most
frequent kinds of yeast infection and can appear in numerous places. Some examples are: anywhere there is a skin
fold; in the groin; in the skin around the fingernail; in obese people, under the folds of the skin of the
abdomen; beneath the arms; and underneath the breasts.
Medications, antibiotics and oral contraceptives
can all impact the immune system, as can excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates, caffeine, alcohol and
other processed foods which all act negatively on the beneficial bacteria. This in turn triggers candida growth
and increases the risk of candidiasis. If a person does not have a strong immune system (for example those who
are in a stressful situation or to insist on poor diet plans, like refined carbohydrates and yeasty food that
encourage candy the overgrowth), they are more likely to contract yeast infection. In addition those people who
wear shoes that are tight fitting or closed-toe and who participate in sports activities, are likely to contract
skin infection due to Candida on their toes.
Local symptoms may also act in parallel with
inner problems on a mental or emotional level when the yeast infection is severe. Symptoms will include
digestive problems, bad breath, gas and bloating of the intestines, vision problems, abnormal desire for sugar,
strange modifications in mood without warning, and tiredness. You need to recognize these kinds of symptoms if
you want to make a good self-diagnosis of Candida and skin infection that is due to yeast. Typical local
infections will include a rash which is brown or red in color and which can ooze. There may also be maceration
or cracking of the skin or wetness and soreness in skin folds. All of this can be accompanied by pain burning
and itching sensations in the affected areas and the onset of papules and pustules.
Yeast infections are the results of internal
factors more than external and therefore if you want to cure Candida overgrowth and related symptoms, you need
to do more than just treat the visible external manifestation. You cannot neglect the underlying causes. If the
underlying reasons that provoked the yeast infection are not tackled, the disease can increase in severity and
provoke further symptoms that degenerate even more. Although for years people thought that yeast infections of
the skin were all local and could be effectively cured by topical medications, scientific information now shows
us otherwise. However doctors persist in treating skin candidiasis with topical anti-fungal
creams.
