Can a yeast infection cause a skin rash on the surrounding areas (e.g., thighs)?
Yes, Candida albicans can cause a skin rash. The rash is usually red, it may be patchy and ooze small amounts of whitish fluid. The rash may also be itchy and might burn. If it responds favorably to an anti-fungal cream, it is almost certainly caused by a yeast infection that has spread to the skin.
