Color

In females a vaginal yeast infection is characterized by a pasty white colored discharge. When the extra tissue cannot easily be wiped off and appears to be somewhat discolored due to staining caused by food or tobacco, it points to chronic hyperplastic. If you have ever had a yeast infection you know that it itches, it is or can be a rash, red or white in color, depending on where it is on the body, there is also pain in urination, discharge and sometimes an odor.

Skin

Our skin surface is made to act as a barrier to bacteria, but if something breaks that surface; a cut or a scratch; it gives the bacteria a way to get in. In men it is characterized by red patchy sores near the head of the penis near or under the foreskin. If it happens at the skin, it will be called skin yeast infection. The fungi usually live on the surface of the skin but after multiplying and further growth they typically break down the skin causing the appearance of a red flat rash.
