Yeast infections are one of the most uncomfortable infections that a woman will experience in her lifetime. These infections are caused by an overgrowth of an organism or yeast known as Candida. Yeast infections are especially itchy, crusty, and smelly. Often a yeast infection starts with a rash or with simple itching but the skin thickens to an elephant, according to Sarah Summer. Yeast infections are one of the most common infections occurring in women. Although they are rarely dangerous, they can be very bothersome and uncomfortable. Yeast infections are not transmitted sexually. They are common among pregnant women, obese women, and women who have diabetes.
