Sweat Rash

 
Sweat rash can affect anyone at any time. This infuriating condition is caused by candida which is a yeast that occurs naturally on your skin. Trapped perspiration that can sometimes upset the natural balance of skin allowing candida to cause an easily irritated, itchy and often unattractive red rash. Knowing when it may strike is difficult to determine as everyday activities such as sweating at the gym could potentially lead to this skin infection. Common areas where this tends to happen are where the skin rubs together including under the arms, backs of the knees, groin and under the breasts.
 
So who does this affect?
 
Anyone. Going to the gym or wearing tight fitting clothing can all upset the natural balance of candida on the skin. This can result in a red, sore, itchy rash. People who sweat more are more likely to suffer - candidal sweat rash is therefore more common in sports people, the overweight or the immobile but as candida lives naturally on the skin it could be experienced by anyone especially during the summertime. Treatments include creams, gels and powders such as lanacane, canesten, zeasorb powder, and even underarm sweat pads.
 
The common signs and symptoms of sweat rash are:
 
A sore red rash
Inflamed skin
Itching
Burning discomfort
The skin could also be broken and may be moist
