Can prepubescent girls develop yeast infections?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yeast in kids: Yeast or candidal infections can occur in girls who haven't reached puberty yet. There are certain risks such as obesity, poor hygiene, skin diseases, and immunosuppressive conditions that could lead to infection. Remember yeast love a "free ride" so if the body is weakened already, it's easier for them to grow. Good to see a gynecologist that treats kids or a knowledgeable pediatrician.
