If the "friendly" bacteria die off because the acidity is not right, it leaves the area free for yeasts to invade. It is best not to use any additives in the bath, to dry thoroughly afterwards and to wear cotton which allows moisture to evaporate easily as yeasts like moist conditions.</p></blockquote><p></p>
