Yeast Infection on Face

Your healthcare provider can diagnose a yeast infection on your face or lips through a physical examination. They will ask you about your symptoms and look at your face, lips and mouth. They may be able to diagnose a yeast infection by looking at the skin on your face.

Your healthcare provider may want to get a sample of the rash for testing. They may gently scrape some of the skin from the infected area. A pathologist will look at the sample under a microscope to determine the type of fungus that’s causing the infection.
