Yeast infections can occur in any one, man, woman, child, the elderly. Anyone can get a yeast infection because the yeast that causes the infection, Candida, actually is found on our bodies, though they prefer warm and moist areas to grow. It is when certain conditions occur that Candida’s numbers become so great in certain areas that the individual will get a yeast infection. The most common types of yeast infections are nail bed infections, vaginal infections, skin infections, diaper rash and mouth and throat infections.
