Yeast infection is the multiplication of Candida albicans on the surface of the skin due to the destruction of lactophillus bacteria which controls the development of yeast in the human body. The infection is transmissible from the surface of one body to another body if the conditions are favorable and the immune system of the sufferer is weak. Transmission of the disease is entirely dependent on the type and species of yeast infection the patient is suffering from. The reasons for the mode of commutation of the disease vary from one type of Candida to another. Yeast infection is contagious in context with the physical transference of Candida from one skin type to another causing the same symptoms of burning sensation, itching, soreness, swelling followed with bleeding in worst cases.
- Type of transmission in mouth infection: The contagiousness of yeast is a cyclic process from mother to child to mother affecting the intestinal and digestive track of the either. Candida is a highly contagious disease which passes from the mother to the infant during the delivery through the birth canal. The sensitive skin of the new born is susceptible to the acceptance of the inflammation as the formation of antibodies and anti-fungal microbes have not taken place. The infection is generally transferred as a thrush in the mouth to the dampness of the nipples which if not treated on time can penetrate the bloodstream.
- Transmission in the case of vagina: In either sex through the process of sexual intercourse the intensity of the transmission of yeast is very high if unsafe sex is practiced between the partners. Semen aids in increasing the dampness of vagina which affects the Ph level of the vaginal track causing cottage white discharge, burning, redness and extreme form of itching in the region. If the penis contains tiny brown or white rashes which are usually invisible to the naked eye, the vagina has high chances of the development of swelling and greenish or colored foul smelling discharge.
- Diaper rash: This rash gets transferred to the interior of the skin causing tear in the internal layers of the sensitive layer of the infant. If left unchecked, the tear may get induced in the blood which triggers attack of fatal diseases in the intestinal and digestive track of the infant.
- Ringworm: This is the appearance of red rings on the surface of the skin causing itching and redness in the affected region. These worms are the result of uncontrollable multiplication of Candida which if touched can be easily transferred from one skin surface to another skin surface.
Treatment for contagious yeast infections:
- Over the counter sprays and creams.
- Application of garlic clove.
- Diluted boric acid
- Intake of antiseptic and antifungal capsules
- Balanced and less sugary diet

The transmission of this inflammation can be reduced with the aid of right advice and natural medicines and ointments which are safe to the skin. Obstruction caused in the cure of the disease should be treated under a prescribed doctor.
