I am breast feeding my 5 week old daughter. She was recently diagnosed with thrush and I got it on my breast as well. Shortly after we found this out she got a bump on her face. It got bigger and developed a yellowish head to it. It has now spread from her cheek all the way to her ear and her other cheek. My question is could the yeast infection spread to the skin on her face? Thanks in advance.

I've never heard of that, but I would definitely go see the pediatrician.

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment

Yes your baby can get yeast on the skin--this can appear anywhere on the body. Call your doc's office and talk with the nurse. He/she will advise on what to do. Antibiotics are usually the culprit more than the cure when it comes to yeast. In the mean time try to keep her face as dry as possible.

Thrush is actually a form of a yeast infection and can spread to the face. Call your doctor.
