A member asked:
If i re-wear pajamas an extra night, does that spread a yeast infection on the skin? does it spread the way chicken pox does (by contact)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yeast infection: This will not spread in the manner in which you have described. Everybody has candida in their GI tract and it only produces clinically relevant disease when there are predisposing factors (i.e., treatment with antibiotics, steroids, diabetes mellitus, immune suppression, and so on).
