Yeast infections can occur on many parts of the body. Most often yeast infections will occur on the genitals or inside the mouth. But the skin can also be the site of a yeast infection. So yest, you can get a yeast infection on the chin.

Yeast likes to grow in warm, moist environments. It prefers darkness, but given the right conditions will grow in light.

What Conditions Encourage A Yeast Infection On The Chin?

Usually yeast doesn’t have a chance to grow into an infection on the skin. There’s protective bacteria on our skin and in our bodies which prevents yeast from taking over and causing a yeast infection on the chin. That protective bacteria and the skin’s ability to keep yeast and bacteria outside our body is our first line of defense against yeast infections and bacterial infections.

Odds for a yeast infection on the chin increase if the protective bacteria on the skin is decreased or eliminated. There are several ways the protective bacteria can be eliminated and the skin scraped so its protective barrier is broken.

Michael Moore’s latest documentary film undertaking, “Sicko”, has struck a chord with many Americans. With over 40 million Americans without health insurance and 250 million, there was something for everyone to think about in this film. Moore called this film “a call to action and not a partisan film.” Moore’s provocative style and use of humor and satire makes the documentary enjoyable and also enlightening.

Moore starts the film with a story in which an uninsured American man has severed 2 of his fingers and has to go to the hospital to have them re-attached. The storyline coincides with a Canadian man who has also severed a finger. The American is told the amount to re-attach his fingers and it is over $60,000.

The American then has to make a decision which of his fingers he would like to keep because one of them will cost much less to re-attach. He opts for the cheaper finger. The Canadian has his finger re-attached and it costs him nothing.
