Correlation between sugar and skin rashes

For years, I suffered with terrible rashes under my breasts, in my arm pits, under my stomach, in my panty line area....and everything I tried never made them stay away. They were bright red, smelled horrendous, oozed, burned, hurt, and itched. My doctor's told me they were yeast infections and were caused from my extra weight laying on top of my skin. I figured he was right! That was one thing I was really looking forward to getting rid of after my weight loss surgery. Well...I expected it to take awhile though. I had my surgery 6 weeks ago...and guess what? NO MORE RASHES! I used to get at least 3-4 a week...and now none! I think I figured out the problem from own research and experience. One thing I have totally given up since my surgery of course is SUGAR. And boy...I used to consume A LOT of it. I would have at least 6 non-diet soda's a day too. Ever since I went to NO sugar and low carbs...I haven't had a hint of a rash! IT is amazing. Has anyone else experienced this? Just curious...
