Best Answer

With unprotected sex, your partner can also develop yeast infection. Infrequently, I get yeast infection under my arm. Mine is caused by a particular medication I take. It occurs in the folds of skin in the armpit.

Treating the infection with Monistat (yes, a vaginal cream for yeast infection, clears it up.

What kind of infection is Tinea Versicolor?

I keep reading that this is not contagious however I contracted it from my boyfriend who had large amounts of it all over his torso, back, and arms. We dated for nearly two years and I never got it but once he moved in two months later I had it. :) If they don't understand what causes it to be triggered at all they shouldnt go stating that it's not contagious.
