A yeast infection is caused by fungi that are already present in your
skin. These fungi love moist areas and thrive when it gets moister. A
change in the area where the fungi is can cause a yeast infection.
Normally, our skin is equipped in preventing any complications of the
fungus but breaks in the skin can be where the organism enters.
Only grown women get yeast infections. A little child cannot get a
yeast infection, that's silly. Sure, a child can get thrush or yeast
infection of the mouth, but not anywhere else. Any parent has heard
any one of these misconceptions at some point in the development of
their toddler. Unfortunately, these are misconceptions. Children, like
any other human, are susceptible to the overgrowth of Candida and this
is not just limited to the mouth area. Yeast infections may occur
anywhere there is a warm and wet environment.
Reasons of Yeast Infection:
Candida just loves warm and wet areas and where is that more available
than in the diaper of your now-starting-to-toilet-train toddler. All
of those adorable little folds in your child's body are perfect
breeding grounds for Candida, especially those covered by her heat-
trapping diaper. The appearance is not unlike that found in thrush. It
still has that white lumpy look and smells a bit like rising bread. To
help prevent yeast infections be sure to keep your toddler clean and
dry as possible, particularly during the hot summer months....
