Causes Of The Infection

Skin yeast infection mostly targets body areas that remain moist and warm, arm pits for example. When it affects the skin, the reason is mostly cuts or breakdown in skin through which yeast enters the body. In babies, mouth and the area covered by diapers is more commonly affected. In grown ups, yeast causes infection in the mouth, under the breast, beneath the lower part of the abdomen, and other areas with skin folds. Most of these infections are not serious and are easily treated.

Vaginal yeast infection is common in women and is responsible for the burning and itching sensation and discharge. Use of antibiotics and steroids is a main reason for vaginal yeast infection. Menstruation, pregnancy, diabetes, and menopause are also associated with yeast overgrowth and infection.

Excessive sweating is one cause of rash appearing on the body. Frequent use of antibiotics and little movement are other culprits.

Medication For Skin Yeast Infection

These drugs act by blocking the manufacture of a compound ergosterol, lacking which the yeast cell dies soon. Since ergosterol is not a component of human cells, the drug is not harmful to human cells.

A second important group of anti-yeast drugs is the Polyene anti-fungal drugs. Nystatin and Amphotericin B are well known names among these, Nystatin being prescribed for more superficial infections than Amphotericin B, which works in more serious ones.
