Anyone can develop symptoms of yeast infections. Candida is a yeast species that naturally occurs on the skin and in the body. However Candida growth is regulated by bacteria in the body and body chemistry. Maintaining good health and hygiene also prevent Candida yeast from overgrowing. If, for some reason, your body's balance is disrupted, then Candida yeast can grow unchecked and develop into a yeast infection.

Yeast like to live and grow in very specific conditions as they like warm and moist places. Some areas that typically can develop yeast infections include skin folds, the underarms, genitals, the mouth and behind the knees and elbows. Babies tend to develop symptoms of yeast infection under their diapers. The most common yeast infections are nail bed infections, vaginal yeast infections, thrush or mouth yeast infections and diaper rash.

There are many causes of a yeast infection though the similarity of all causes is the fact that the environment on or in your body changes to promote yeast growth.

In this case a yeast infection may be a sign that you have an immune disease, as your body cannot fight off the extra yeast growth.

Some symptoms of vaginal yeast infections include itching, irritation and a white discharge. Sometime there is burning with urination or pain associated with sexual intercourse. Thrush or an oral yeast infection appears as white patches on the tongue and in the mouth. These white patches tend to be surrounded in red. Thrush is painful and can make eating difficult.

If you have a weakened immune system then your body cannot fight of the yeast infections, then it has the potential to spread inside your body to the different organs. Internal yeast infections are painful and have the potential to spread to the blood stream. If the yeast reaches the blood stream, then it can infect your brain and cause irreversible damage.
