As for yeast on the nipple/breast of a woman who is not breastfeeding:
I had a yeast infection once on my neck/shoulder.  I had gone to my doctor
for an ear infection and he noticed it.  After trying to figure out why I
would have a yeast infection in that location, I realized that I almost
always held my baby on that side, he would drool on the cloth diaper, which
would get my shirt, bra strap, and neck/shoulder area wet.  Living in humid
FL probably didn't help.  I made sure from that point on to switch off the
wet diaper for a dry one much more frequently and changed my shirt if it got
wet.  I've noticed that heavy people tend to develop yeast infections in
areas where skin is not exposed to light or air frequently, and I know people
who have gotten yeast on their hands from wearing sweaty gloves for many
hours or on their foreheads from wearing baseball caps for many hours while
sweating during work.  I've found that lying on the bed under a ceiling fan
after showering and changing wet clothes quickly go a long way in yeast
prevention in my humble opinion (kind of reminds me of leaving my sons'
diapers off every so often to give their bottoms a chance to "get some air").
 With the baseball cap and glove situation, fresh gloves and hat can help, or
leaving them off for a while, if possible, depending on the work a person
does seems to help the healing and prevention campaign.  Is it possible that
this woman is trying to rush to get dressed after showering and putting on
her bra and shirt over damp skin?  Just a thought.  I know there are many
other conditions that might be creating the situation.
