Can my bf fingering me cause a yeast infection?

I have noooo idea, but it's supposed to be mostly caused if your clothes are too tight or you don't wear breathable material like cotton. so buy lots of cotton underwear from victoria's secret! :)

Yes it can. Anything that can alter the ph balance in your vaginal area (excess sweat, excess moist or even unwashed fingers) can cause a yeast infection.
Tight, nonabsorbent underclothing may irritate the genital area and trap moisture, making infection by bacteria or yeast more likely. Not keeping the genital area clean, and fingering the genital area (which young girls may do) may make infection more likely.

yes it can but it depends a lot on how sensative you are. some people's ph are offset easier more than others and there is really no easy way to tell if you are one of those people unless you seem to have gotten quite a few in the past. but they are ofter times caused by clothing that doesn't breathe.

If his hands are really dirty, otherwise, I doubt it.
