athletes foot/ yeast infection

[sgrey]

Can not washing hands well after treating athletes foot ,with lotion, cause a vaginal yeast infection?

You seem to know alot about this have you seen my question and my profile pic on my sons face rash? any advice?

candidas is what a yeast infection is.

please be very careful when giving advice on what you "heard" people take it very serious and just so you know treating a fungus with steroids can worsen it as can putting antifungals medicine on a non fungal rash.

[marcialeer]

Well I heard it can infect them but may have a different name.

women do not get jock itch.

I know this thread is very old, but in the event someone stumbles across this, as I did, they deserve to have the correct information. Jock or crotch itch, officially known as tinea cruris, can affect both men and women.

That would be called jock itch and yes it can spread from your feed from hands, towels, wash clothes. Always wash and dry your feed last.

there is a very remote possibility but it is not likely at all unless you touched an active fungal infection then transferred that hand directly to the vagina.

yeast is very common and there are a wide range of reasons women get them, including; not wearing cotton underpants, antibiotics, heat, tight fitting clothes etc.
