The mere mention of a yeast infection makes most women cringe. Yeast infections take many forms however, and are not limited to vaginal infections.
Yeast infections are fungal in nature, often developing on moist areas of the skin.
Yeast infections range from mild to serious and each needs to be treated differently. If left untreated or if infection is severe, thrush can spread to the esophagus and hinder swallowing. Yellow patches of raised skin on the gums or tongue. Lack of appetite. Pain in neck or surrounding lymph nodes.
