Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Recurrent yeast infection could be due to an underlying high blood sugar(diabetes). Since it is not yet confirmed to be a yeast infection, therefore i would advice that you get a KOH preparation done from that area, which would establish the diagnosis.
If indeed it comes out to be yeast infection on KOH testing then it would be logical to get a lab test for blood sugar as well.

take care
