I read somewhere that Olive oil coyld promote yeast infections. Now after using Olive oil wout adding lavender and frakenscence to the oil I have what I believe to be a yeast infection on my "healthy skin" on my backside. I hate dealing with this as soon as I get an la flare under control than yeast starts up and it is a vicious cycle. Thinking of trying castor oil but wondering if others had noticed a correlation. Also I have been on a no sugar diet for a couple of weeks now so you would think that would be helping the situation.
