Are rashes on the outside of the private area considered yeast infection?

ok..i get rashes on the outer area of my private region..its painful at first..not exactly rashes bt areas which become slightly red and feel abit funny..the "rashes" gradually go away..and durin the process..there is blood sometimes..bt its mighty uncomfy if u sit the wrong way or smethin..so is this yeast infection? is it something..by the way..i hafnt had sex..bt i do play with myself sometimes..

Sounds more like an allergy to the area or an irritation. Yeast infection or thrush is usually more internal and you get a smelly discharge from inside along with itching and dryness etc.

Try wearing underwear that is made from cotton, check your laundry powder out and try using something natural. Try using natural soaps. Be aware that diet plays a major role in allergies so take a good look at that too and consider eliminating dairy, wheat, sugar as these are the main culprits for most.

As for what to put on it, Calendular Ointment is great and so is Golden Seal. See this website http://www.carolineskincare.com.au this is a product I use for my patients often, it works very, very well.

Drink lots of water and if it persists, go see a Naturopath and have it more closely examined.

Hope this helps.

i don't think it's yeast infection. i have fat thighs and when they rub together they become raw and it hurts like all get out. i usually put on diper rash ointment to protect it from sweat. or even BAN deoderent u might wanna try that see if it helps

well whatever it might be you should go to the doctor so you can treat it now before the problem gets worse
