Many of us will find ourselves suffering
from a fungal infection at some time in our life. At
times it seems the more annoying infections occur in the
superficial part of our body like on the skin. These
fungal infections are contagious and some can become
very dangerous.
In the more extreme cases the fungal infection
can even lead to death. Sometimes, you may be infected
with a fungal infection and not even realize
it.
One of the more common fungal infections
is the yeast infection or also known in its medical
term, Candidiasis. Yeast infection's can come in many
forms and affect different areas of your body. Vaginal yeast
infections and Thrush, normally termed for yeast
infections within the mouth, are the more common
episodes you'll experience.
Candidiasis is a normal fungal
inhabitant of our bodies. During times of hormonal
imbalances or a weakening of the body's immune system,
the fungus can multiply and because of the overgrowth,
we are left with a yeast infection. Additionally, our
normal friendly fungus can be disturbed when we use any
antibiotic treatments, thereby weakening our body's
resistance to diseases.
Yeast infections can affect various
parts of the skin, especially in the folds of the skin;
the penis, under the arms, behind the ears and under a
women's breasts, just to name a few.
