In treating this infection, it is vital to understand the different types of yeast infections.
A fungus called Candida albicans is primarily responsible for inflammation of the vagina or vaginitis.
Yeast is present on the normal human skin on warm and moist areas, such as the mouth and vagina.
   Most women experience vaginitis at some point of time in their lives.
Vaginitis is caused by numerous infections, including bacteria, protozoans and yeast such as Candida.
Vaginal infection is also referred to as vaginal Candidiasis.
   What are the types of infection?  This skin disorder is commonly thought of as a female's issue.
But though women are primarily affected by this skin condition, men and infants can also be affected by it.
We shall discuss below the different types of infections: 

• Vaginal infections: As the name implies, this type of skin infection affects the women at large.
  Its symptoms include burning while urinating and itching as well as an irritating pain during sex.
  Your quality of life can be seriously affected, if not treated properly and in time.
  Those women who are taking antibiotics experience a chemical imbalance inside her body and are the ones who are most susceptible to suffer from this skin infection.
  
• Men's infection: This type of disorder is different from vaginal infection.
    It appears as a rash and causes irritation on the tip of the penis and gives a burning sensation when urinating.
    A weakened immune system or recurring intake of antibiotics is the chief factors that contribute to developing this infection.
  
• Infection in infants: Babies find it most difficult to face this condition because they do not find it easy to communicate their itching and discomfort.
    A baby can develop this kind of infection while breastfeeding his mother and appears as a thrush on the mouth.
  

  Infection caused by yeast can be very irritating.
Those women who experience recurring vaginal infections face a lot more trouble than just annoyance.
When a woman suffers from vaginal infections for four or more times in a year, then she is said to be suffering from recurring skin infections.
  It is also possible to pass an infection between two partners.
  By understanding how to prevent and treat different types of skin infection, you are able to protect yourself and other people around you.
  Yeast infection spreads in other ways too.
  Pregnant women pass on their infection on to their infants.
  Many different types of vaginal infections are present.
  At times, when infected a woman does not understand which kind of infection it is; hence the treatment provided may not be as effective.
  Some types of infection caused by the yeast need to be treated with proper prescription.
  These are the times when an infection cannot be treated with over-the-counter medicines.
   Depending upon the different types of yeast infections, one must take steps to overcome the situation and prevent it.
