TINEA VERSICOLOR and yeast

[Guest guest]

Here is a question that may not have been asked.

I have tinea versicolor on my thighs that I cannot get rid of (a

skin fungal infection).

Can this pass itself to the vaginal area via spore migration, or

through the action of drawing up clothing to the waist while

dressing, such as putting on panties?

If so, can this fungal infection cause a vaginal yeast infection?

I was told by a gyno that vaginal yeast infections CAN cause skin

fungal infections, but I wonder if the reverse is true as well?
