A member asked:
Could getting yeast rashes be from being obese and not from a weak immune system ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yeast: When someone is obese, they may have folds of skin that press against each other. This can create a moist, warm environment for infections to develop. One might not need have a weak immune system in that situation.
