Does Red Splotches On And Off On Face Indicates Yeast Infection?

My daughter has a yeast infection. She is 17 months old. All day she has had a few red splotches come up on her face and it will come and go. It will get really red and almost go away in about 5min- to an hour. Could it be a yeast infection on her face?

Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query. It is very unlikely for a rash caused by fungi to appear and disappear several times in a day. this description is more suggestive of a possible allergic reaction. Please, should this persist, seek medical consultation for evaluation and management.

II wish her well. thanks for using our services.
