I have had breast yeast since my youngest son weaned 3/97. I live in south Georgia where it gets to 100+ degrees with extremely high humidity. The childbirth and lactation office where I work is across the street from the hospital. I make several trips across to the hospital each day. I also have three very active boys who are involved in lots of different. This means there is alot of time in the van when it does not have time to cool off before it is time to stop again. (We live in a small town) All this combined with satin bra can lead to a yeast infection starting on the skin and spreading to the nipples if left untreated. I switched to all cotton bra's and wear a clean one each day. I have not had a problem since. Seems easy but it worked for me.
Good Luck!
