Keeping your skins Candida in balance.
Candida is a yeast that naturally lives in the body. A strong immune system and a healthy inner ecology keep the Candida/yeast in check and prevent it from taking over and causing complications. Unfortunately, antibiotics, excessive sugars, chemotherapy, and health issues can create an environment where yeast and fungi overpower the body's natural balance. When this happens, it can cause itchy rashes and fungal infections on skin and nails.
Symptoms
Treatment
Once a rash presents a doctor should be consulted. Topical treatments, as well as oral antibiotics, can be prescribed if needed. New resistant strains of Candida have recently emerged as a health concern making it even more important to take steps to reduce the chances that Candida thrives in your body. These include diets low in sugar, removing wet clothing immediately, and frequent hand washing.
Natural Prevention
Some Natural elements have been studied to show significant progress in controlling Candida. Using these natural remedies along with proper diet and healthy habits could help to prevent the annoying presence of skin infections caused by Candida/yeast and fungi.
These elements should never be used to treat an existing infection, but as a way to create an atmosphere unsavory to excessive candida growth.

The top inhibitors were found to be:, Lemongrass, Clove leaf, Cinnamon, Japanese mint, and Geranium oil. However, Orange Oil, Ginger Grass, Ying Yang, Peppermint, Tea Tree and Rosemary all exhibited yeast inhibiting.
Neem Powder effective in combating Fungal and Yeast Infections

Use Neem soaps or cream in your daily routine to reduce risk of excessive yeast from developing.
Sea Salt proven effective in prohibiting Candida on skin
Sea Salt used in water has been proven to be effective in treating skin infections. In a study involving patients with atopic eczema/dermatitis treated with sea salt and water, the improvement of skin symptoms such as inflammation, thick patches, and cracking of the skin occurred. The study speculated that since patients with eczema and dermatitis often lack certain minerals, the sea salt treatment helped to restore essential minerals and reduces the levels of toxins. Sea Salt also acts to repair skins barrier and lock in moisture. Use quality sea salt scrubs, soaps and soaks to reduce your risk of Candida infections.
