The symptoms of an anal yeast infection will be focused around the perianal area unless the infection spreads to other parts of the body. Your symptoms may include: Itchiness and soreness. Burning sensation. Red, irritated, inflamed skin. Discharge or bleeding. Yeast infections can appear almost anywhere on the skin where it is warm and moist. In men the warm dark and moist area around the groin is what causes yeast infection on the penis. With women, the warmth and moister in the vagina is what causes the infection. Infection of the butt crack can be a frustrating, painful, and embarrassing to have.

- Naturally Curing a Buttocks Yeast Infection
If you have a yeast infection of the buttocks, you can use natural remedies to clear it up safely from the comfort of your home. The only caveat, is that you have to actually be correct in your diagnosis of your buttocks rash. It is important to know if the rash is actually being caused by Candida (Candida is the genus of yeast that causes yeast infections). If your buttocks rash is not caused by Candida, then your efforts to use an antifungal will be in vain if the infection is not fungal in origin. You may have already possibly experienced this by not clearing up your infection with an over-the-counter topical antifungal.
A buttocks yeast infection may be a condition that is essentially diaper rash in adults. Diaper rash is a condition that can have a wide variety of causes; and, Candida can be the cause of this condition as well. In this article, we will investigate some research about diaper rash to hopefully elucidate buttocks rash situations.
There are some key things that can help you determine if you indeed have a buttocks yeast infection. There are some factors that can predispose you to a Candida infection; these include: taking broad spectrum antibiotics, women using estrogen hormones, and being immunocompromised in some way. If you are unsure about your propensity to have a Candida problem, it may be wise to first take a home yeast infection test. Candida Hub provides two free tests that you can take to help you clarify your Candida situation. If you have some time, you can check them out at the following link:
Towards the end of this article, we will be discussing some very effective natural remedies you can use to start clearing up a buttocks yeast infection. These remedies are quite efficacious, cost effective, and can be used from the comfort of your home. Also, the pictures presented on this article of skin yeast infections (or Candida diaper rash) can help you get a better idea as to if Candida is causing your buttocks problem. The pictures found on this page can help you better self-diagnose a buttocks Candida problem.
Anal Yeast Infections
If your yeast infection in more prominent on your anus than on your buttocks cheeks, then possibly you would be better served by reading Candida Hub’s article about anal Candida problems. You can find this article here:
Research on Candida Skin Infections
A study, published in the International Wound Journal [14.3 (2017): 488-495], discussed how continence and incontinence (being able to go to the bathroom or not) related to Candida infections. Additionally, the study presented some well understood statistics about Candida infections. According to the study’s authors, Candida is a genus (a certain classification) of yeast that is the most common fungal commensal organism in humans. A commensal organism is one that lives in a relationship with another organism and gets some kind of benefit from that organism—while at the same time, it does not cause damage to that organism.
Yet at times, Candida can overgrow and become virulent. Candida is known as an opportunistic pathogen for this reason; as it requires an opportunity to instigate infection. This yeast is responsible for a vast array of mucosal (relating to the mucus membranes) and invasive diseases. Of the Candida genus, the species Candida albicans (C. albicans) is the most common fungal colonizer in people; with oropharyngeal (relating to the back of the throat where the oral cavity connects) and vaginal infections being the most common source of mucosal yeast infections. Mucosal infections such as these account for considerable discomfort and a diminished quality of life. This study reports that up to 75% of women will experience a vulvovaginal Candida infection, and 65% of denture wearers will develop Candida related denture stomatitis.
Concerning diaper rash (which of course will be very comparable to most buttock yeast infections), the study states that Candida infections have been reported to have a primary role in how diaper rash develops in infants. This study states that several research papers have reported significantly higher rates of Candida colonization in perianal (the area around the anus), inguinal (groin area), and oral sites in infants with diaper rash than those infants without diaper rash. Additionally, the rate of Candida colonization in these infants correlated with the severity of diaper rash.
Concerning incontinence, this study states that Candida infections have been associated with incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD). IAD is defined as an irritant contact dermatitis that can occur in adults with faecal and/or urinary incontinence. Frequently, IAD is made worse by a fungal infection; and, C. albicans is reported to be the most frequent cause of, or contributor to, IAD.
Candida infections associated with IAD can have symptoms such as a bright red rash containing macules (flat, discolored areas of the skin) and papules (small raised bumps) spreading from the central area. The rash can also be accompanied by satellite lesions at the margins of the rash that extend into normal skin; or, non-specific confluent papules.
Yeast Infection On Your Butt
Consequently, if you have been suffering from incontinence, your dermatitis could be caused or exacerbated by Candida in your body.
Diaper Rash Related to Candida
Another study found an association between diaper rash and the gastrointestinal presence of C. albicans. This research was published in the British Journal of Dermatology [105.5 (1981): 551-555].
This study states that diaper rash is not a specific diagnosis; and, is best understood as a group of disorders due to a variety of causal factors. Microbial factors have long been seen as important in all types of diaper rash.
The study states that C. albicans finds its way to the diaper area from its natural reservoir: the gastrointestinal tract. The greater amount of yeast that arrives in this area, the more severe the rash will be. The classic form of Candidal diaper rash presents as intense red rash with sharply defined borders, and can have satellite pustules (small bumps containing pus). Psoriasiform (Psoriasiform dermatoses are a wide variety of diseases that resemble each other in evaluable symptoms and histologic levels) eruptions and seborrheic dermatitis (a skin condition that causes scaly patches and red skin, often on the scalp) can also have Candida colonizing these rashes.
The results of this research showed that C. albicans was largely and constantly present on the skin and in the faeces of people with overtly symptomatic Candida diaper rash. The study showed that C. albicans was lacking from both the skin and faeces of people with chafing or eczema. Additionally, C. albicans could be found in the faeces of people with unclassifiable diaper rash in direct relationship with the severity of symptoms.
As a result of this research, it appears that the presence of Candida in the gastrointestinal system can put you at risk for developing a buttocks yeast infection. Again, a buttocks yeast infection should be similar—if not identical—to Candidal diaper rash. The two terms might be able to be used interchangeably.
Research published in Pediatric Dermatology [1.4 (1984): 322-325] also discusses how Candida can be related to diaper rash. According to this journal study, diaper rash is a term that is used to define a family of skin eruptions occurring in the area covered by a diaper. There are a wide array of causative factors for this condition; yet, C. albicans is a major microbiological factor.
The study reports that colonization of the diaper area by C. albicans is frequently the result of the microscopic yeast spreading from the gastrointestinal tract. Yet, a primary factor that determines if C. albicans will survive on the skin is the moisture content of the area. The study reports that it is very clear from studies on animals and humans that moisture and warmth are necessary for the yeast’s survival and growth on human skin.
Consequently, wearing unbreathable underwear or tight fitting clothing may contribute to there being more moisture in the groin and buttocks. Dx7 patches. The resulting moisture present in this area from such clothing may put you at a greater risk for developing a buttocks yeast infection; additionally, moisture in this area may also lead to a more aggravated infection.
Candida Infections of the Skin
An informative study, published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology [33.10 (2019): 1863-1873], discussed skin yeast infections. This may be relevant, as a buttocks Candida infection is simply a skin yeast infection of that area.
Rash Above Butt Crack
This study states that Candida infections of the skin is a common health problem affecting all ages of people. Skin Candidiasis is responsible for approximately 1% of all out-patient and 7% of all in-patient visits to dermatological clinics. Candida can be the primary cause of a skin disease or can arise secondarily to other skin conditions like eczema, diaper rash, and psoriasis.
Candida skin infections can occur at any body area; yet, the most frequent occurrences are those of intertrigo (an infection in the creases of the skin), cheilitis, interdigital Candidiasis, and diaper rash. An array of Candida species can cause these infections; however, C. albicans most commonly causes infections in people.
The study states that some skin conditions can contribute to Candida infection; such as: covering the skin, increased moisture, broken skin barrier, and a change in the microbiological flora of a skin area.
A study, published in the International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology [32 (2018)], discusses the symptoms of a skin yeast infection. The study states that skin Candida infections usually affect intertriginous (areas where there are skin folds/creases) and interdigital areas. The typical symptoms of this problem are dry, reddened, erosive, or scaly skin. Flaking collarette and/or pustules can also occur.
This study describes the case of an otherwise healthy man who had an unusual skin Candida infection on his feet. The picture below was taken from the study and shows what a Candida infection of the skin looks like. You may be able to draw a better conclusion about a buttocks yeast infection from this image:
Naturally Curing a Buttocks Yeast Infection
Rashes are often hard to diagnose; and, it therefore may be difficult to determine if you have an infection on your buttocks that is caused by Candida. Buttocks yeast infections may be as difficult to determine the causative agent as diaper rashes are. Yet, if you suspect it is in fact Candida that is causing the rash, you may do well in treating it naturally. Additionally, many natural therapies are effective against more pathogenic organisms than Candida; so you have that on your side as well!
Coconut Oil for Buttocks Yeast Infections
There are a wide array of natural remedies you can employ to cure a buttocks yeast infection. Possibly the best solution is to use an antifungal carrier base oil and a few essential oils that get rid of Candida. You want to make sure to dilute essential oils in a carrier oil before using them. Often, essential oils are powerful chemicals that can cause damage to the skin easily—if a strong enough concentration is used. Therefore, you always want to dilute an essential oil before you use it on your skin—especially in sensitive areas.
Coconut oil is known to inhibit and kill Candida. This natural food item is therefore ideal to use as a carrier base for essential oils. The research proving this fact is beyond the scope of this article. However, Candida Hub has an entire section with topics about, and relating to, coconut oil. For more information on coconut oil and how it is a great natural remedy for Candida problems, you can check out the following link:

Essential Oils to use on the Buttocks
The famous, late, Dr. James A. Duke had a lot of good advice for treating yeast infections with natural herbal medicines. In Dr. Duke’s excellent book, The Green Pharmacy, he states that mixing herbs and using them together can create a synergistic effect with a natural therapy. This may be the result of each phytochemical combating the yeast in a different way. According to Dr. Duke in The Green Pharmacy:
The synergy—the harmonious working together—of antifungal herbs has been demonstrated in several studies. In one test of ten plant species whose oils were antifungal, researchers noted that 'combinations of the antifungal essential oils increased their activity remarkably.' In a similar study, researchers noted that 'in all the oil combinations, the antifungal potency was found to increase over individual oils.'
Duke, James A. The Green PharmacyPossibly one of the best essential oils to clear up a yeast infection on the buttocks is going to be tea tree oil. Dr. Duke even recommends using tea tree oil to treat fungal infections. He writes, 'Teatree oil is a powerful antiseptic that is very useful against fungal skin infections, including athlete’s foot and yeast infections.'
Tea tree oil is a very powerful essential oil; and it can be lethal if you drink enough of it. Just be warned, the oil is a very powerful chemical, and has been proven to effectively fight Candida.
To use tea tree oil, you will want to dilute it to about a 5% concentration in coconut oil. Never use tea tree oil with infants or small children—it is simply too potent to be safely used with children.
As mentioned, of course, you will want to use a few other essential oils. These oils are really beyond the scope of this article; yet, Candida Hub has many articles detailing the antifungal ability of many essential oils. Possibly two of the best to use along with tea tree oil will be thyme and lavender essential oils. There are a lot more oils to choose from though; so, you can choose the combination that seems right to you. For more comprehensive information on essential oils, you can check out the following pages on Candida Hub:
Keep the Buttocks Dry!
Also remember that moisture may worsen Candidiasis of the buttocks. Make sure you do not wear tight fitting pants, try and wear loose fitting clothing when sleeping, and avoid wearing underwear that does not permit moisture to escape easily. By controlling the moisture around the buttocks, this may help prevent and mitigate one of these infections.
A Natural, Safe Yeast Infection Treatment
Yeast infections affect a wide variety of people. Yet, it is a fact that women appear to get them more than men. Despite your gender, anyone can develop a problem with Candida. One woman who struggled greatly with Candida was Linda Allen.
Linda Allen was a woman who began to suffer from recurrent vaginal yeast infections and also developed systemic Candidiasis. The yeast, as it invaded her body, caused a host of unusual problems. Linda’s understanding of her situation was limited for some time. Linda’s medical doctor also was not able to pin down the cause of her unusual health problems either.
Linda’s situation seemed hopeless. For some time, there did not seem to be a workable solution to her health problems. Her doctor even tried putting her on allergy medication. Yet, nothing seemed to work long term.
Linda found that she was taking antifungals to clear up her yeast infections routinely; and, they just kept coming back. In addition, her health kept declining. Those that knew her wondered if her situation was worse than she was admitting, or if she was a hypochondriac!
Things finally changed for the better; and this happened when Linda made an appointment with a naturopathic practitioner. The naturopath knew exactly what was wrong with her: systemic Candidiasis. It was the yeast Candida that was causing all her poor health and recurrent yeast infections.
Although the naturopath did not provide Linda with a permanent solution to her problem, they did point her in the right direction. After learning the source of her health problems, she began to ardently study Candidiasis and ways to cure this problem.
Yeast Infection In Butt Crack
Linda’s diligent work did produce promising results. She eventually developed an extensive natural treatment protocol she hoped would get rid of her Candida problems for good. After developing this protocol, Linda spent about a year refining it before she tried it on herself.
After using her natural protocol, Linda found her yeast infections stopped happening. Eventually, she found her health had been totally restored as well. Linda then showed her treatment plan to a doctor, and they said she might really have something with her new system. The doctor suggested allowing others to see it and see how they responded.
Linda decided to do what the doctor suggested, and she gave her treatment plan to others suffering from Candida related health problems. Those that tried her system would report back with similarly positive results. Linda’s novel system worked for them too.
Linda has since written an extensive book detailing how to use her natural treatment protocol for removing Candida from the body. Linda also has a powerful, 12 hour natural cure section in her book. This 12 hour cure will clear up a yeast infection in just 12 hours of time.
In addition to the 12 hour cure, you can be assured that Linda’s book can help get rid of even stubborn Candida problems. Linda herself had suffered from Candida for about 12 years before she cured herself using her natural treatment methodology. You may feel like there is no way to be free from Candida; yet, Linda’s system may be the answer you have been looking for.
In addition to providing a great book, Linda’s publisher provides a 60 day, 100% money back guarantee on her book. This 60 day guarantee will allow you to test Linda’s book out and see if it really works without much risk. 60 days is certainly more than 12 hours of time!
Linda Allen’s publisher is a large online publisher based in the United States. Linda’s publisher is owned by the United States based firm Keynetics Incorporated. You are sure to have an easy process getting a refund of your all your money if you find her book unsatisfactory. Turbo vac 800 dual action user manual.
