An armpit yeast infection is a fungal skin infection caused by a yeast called Candida. It causes a bright red, itchy rash in your underarm area. Your skin naturally has many types of yeast that live on it, including Candida. In healthy people, this normally doesn’t cause any problems. But when there’s an overgrowth of Candida, it can dig beneath the surface of your skin. This can cause a rash or skin infection. Candidiasis can occur almost anywhere on the surface of your body. But it’s most commonly found in the moist, creased areas of your skin, including under your arms.
