White Specks on His Finger

These white specks are most likely a sign of a yeast overgrowth or infection. Yeast lives normally inside the vagina, but this yeast can grow out of control for many reasons, which include: stress, a diet that is too high in sugars and carbohydrates, hormonal imbalances, use of birth control pills and/or hormone drugs, antibiotics, pregnancy, and even diabetes.

Symptoms of a yeast overgrowth can range from a white or yellowish cottage cheese like discharge that may be strong but not foul smelling, and an itchy feeling. Check with your gynecologist to see if you have a yeast infection.

A good way to prevent future infections is to make sure that you take flora replacements. Primal Defense--sold in health food stores is a good one. A healthy flora balance is the best way to prevent overgrowths of all kinds.

If you have an infection in the future, you can find some good natural cures in the health food store. Tea tree oil suppositories are very effective against fungus as are grapefruit seed extract douches.
