I suspect I misunderstood the question. I thought yeast infection
refered to a vaginal infection, not one of the breast. It is uncommon
to have a yeast infection of the breast when not BF.
There can be a fungal infection anywhere on the skin, it generally is
tinea versicolor - a skin fungus that causes a redness or whitening of
the skin. Not usually itchy.
A yeast infection of the nipple can cause redness, cracking, itching and
bleeding. Often the baby has oral thrush.
