A yeast infection looks like flat red rashes and can occur in various areas of the body:


1) Symptoms of a yeast infection in the genital area will be discharge of a white mucus to yellow pus. Itchiness and bad odor. Irritated skin around the labia and pain during urination.

2) In the mouth or throat a yeast infection looks like a white pimple on a swollen red spot. Mouth yeast infections can be painful, and eating and swallowing difficult.


3) Yeast infections can also be found between toes and fingers , under the breast , around the anus and on the penis . In these places, a yeast infection looks like dry, swollen patches of red or purple flaky skin that could burn and itch.


In babies you can also notice it in the form of a diaper rash.



You should note there are natural alternatives to prescribed medicines that work much better as they attack the route cause and not just the symptoms (reocurring yeast infections are very common).



I found an excellent website that has many photos of what a yeast infection looks like in various parts of the anatomy, and most importantly a 12 hour cure - see natural cure for yeast infections   for excellent advice on how to treat yeast infections safely, quickly and permanently.

 

I hope that helped give you a better idea about what a yeast infection looks like.

All the best and good luck.

I've never had a yeast infection, but I am beginning to believe I may have one after reading through this thread on what a yeast infection looks like. I know the clearish thin discharge is normal for women, but occasionally I will have a thicker white discharge that does have an odor. I have no reddish, itching or burning. Any suggestions?

The outward symptoms of a yeast infection may include vaginal discharge that is thicker than normal and is white and curd-like - like cottage cheese.  Other signs are itching, burning, redness, and irritation of the vaginal area. Severe yeast infections may cause swelling of the vagina lips. Sometimes, women have painful and/or frequent urination because of inflammation of the urinary opening.

How long does yeast infection medication take to work?

I took pms-Fluconazole for a yeast infection (a pill you take once) on Tuesday. It says that the yeast infection symptoms should be gone within a couple days but it does not say how long it takes to completely get rid of the infection. Am I clear for intercourse again or how long I should wait.

Hi,

If you're sure it's a yeast infection, you can treat it by:

- Avoiding sugar as much as possible (yeast live on sugar).
- Eating SUGAR FREE yogurt with live acidophilus cultures, at least two cups every day.
- Eat lots of garlic, which is anti-fungal.
- Apply the SUGAR FREE yogurt to the affected area for a few minutes three times every day.
- Apply crushed garlic (as pasty as you can make it) to the affected area for a few minutes, three times per day.

Following the above home remedies should have you all cured within a week. If you are still not better in a week, time to see the doctor. Best of luck!
