Being a fungal infection, yeast infection definitely does not look appeasing when it occurs in a body part. The basic appearance of this ailment is characterized by red rashes over the affected skin-area and formation of patches over those regions.
If one’s mouth region has this infection then it is generally referred to as ‘thrush.’
In such a condition, the mouth gets coated with pasty-white patches all over. In severe cases, this same infectivity can infiltrate the esophagus, as well.
Besides, there can be visible tissue inflammation and redness in the afflicted-region of the body. This occurs if the fungal allergy is too severe and needs immediate medication.
When yeast infection occurs in the vaginal region; there will be some amount of burning sensation, irritation and puffiness. Red rashes will appear on this area and there will be a sticky, white and odorless substance that is released from the vagina.

Plus, in the nail region there might be some degree of swelling. Under specific conditions, a liquid-discharge might be seen. This fluid like substance can be accompanied by wet ‘pus.’
Other than this, it can affect other areas like armpit region, male genital region and the body area under one’s breast. Once again it’s characterized by red rashes and irritation in these regions.
