Yeast infection on the skin can grow after

• A course of antibiotics
• After a sickness or lowered immune system
• After a bad vaginal infection
• A diet high in sugar
• Systemic candida overgrowth in the gut

Candida and yeast love to eat sugar and carbs. If you stop eating carbs and sugar the yeast will eventually die off. This process takes a while and if you have an itchy yeast infection rash, you want relief quickly.

Skin Yeast Infection Home Remedies

Coconut Oil and Tea Tree Combo

This happens to be my favorite home remedy for any candida rash on the skin. Since both coconut and tea tree are antifungal it does a nice job of drying up candida rashes and still caring for your skin. I mix a few drops of tea tree oil in a tablespoon of coconut oil and apply to all areas with the rash. We personally used this one with good success.

Apple Cider Vinegar

This is a great antifungal but could potentially burn if you have been scratching your rash and it has open skin or blisters. Apple cider vinegar can be taken internally as well as applying it right to the rash to clear it up quickly. I know apple cider vinegar works but my husband can’t stand the smell so we didn’t use it this time.
