I am breast feeding my 5 week old daughter. She was recently diagnosed with thrush and I got it on my breast as well. Shortly after we found this out she got a bump on her face. It got bigger and developed a yellowish head to it. It has now spread from her cheek all the way to her ear and her other cheek. My question is could the yeast infection spread to the skin on her face? Thanks in advance.

I’ve never heard of that, but I would definitely go see the pediatrician.

This may sound crazy ( I think so) but my mother’s dog groomer told her that her dog has a skin yeast infection and suggested she buy an atheletes foot spray and put it on her dog? Has anyone on here ever heard of such a thing before? Her dog is a cockapoo mix and has been scratching a lot so she is trying anything she can to help the dog. I myself told her not to do every thing everyone tells her. Do you think this could harm the dog? By the way, the dog doesn’t have fleas.
Goldega… She has taken the dog to the vet, got an allergy shot,then special shampoo,the changed the dog food to Natural Balance. My mother is elderly so the scratching is getting on her nerves plus she is at her witts end trying to help the poor dog. Thank you too everyone for any help.

I have heard of this before. But it is usually caused by the area staying wet all the time. If your dog has been scratching constantly, then she may be allergic to fleas. Fleas will only stay on an animal long enough to feed, then they’ll jump off. So that dog may have been bitten by a flea and caused it to scratch until it’s raw. Now, it’s also very possible that the dog could have developed a secondary skin infection, from all the intense scratching. If this is true, then the dog will need antibiotics. The best thing to do is to bring it to a vet, and then it can be determined exactly what’s going on. If the dog continues to scratch, that area will only intensify in its inflammation and won’t heal by itself. Think about this. Best of luck to you.
