A member asked:

If you were born with a yeast infection, can you get something for it to go away?if so, what is it called and where do u get it from?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Odd question: The yeast that is involved with "yeast" infections is everywhere in nature. We all are contaminated with it within hours of birth and it ends up as a benign inhabitant of our intestines. Moisture and sugar keep it growing ant these are available in the mouth of a baby that feeds often or on a diapered bottom. Anti-yeast meds can reduce symptomatic rash or buildup, but it will always be present.
