How Skin Irritations Can Cause Yeast Infections

Some women have found that scented or colored toilet papers can damage the delicate membranes in the genital area or cause irritation, which then gives yeast a chance to invade.

The same is true of scented laundry detergents and fabric softeners. Feminine deodorant sprays that contain scents or chemicals that cause irritation should also be avoided. Be sure to use an unscented soap in the shower or bath, and do not use a soap that contains a disinfectant, because it kills the bacteria that keep yeast in check. Neutrogena™ is a good choice.
