A member asked:

My 8 month old daughter has a yeast infection. what does it come from?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast is everywhere: Yeast is present in spore form as much as bacteria or viruses.It comprises at least 5% of the dry weight of anyone's poo. If a kid has any irritation in his/her diaper area, the yeast in the poo can set up a yeast infection within hours.
