For this a vet trip is needed. You will need pills, to take, a couple of them and a special bath. The vinegar, etc is kind of a help but will not cure the yeast infection. A vet is the only way to go with this.
After having said this, here is a site that explains what you are dealing with:

. The reason I know what is involved with this is that i have a German Shepherd that has a yeast infection on its skin and it requires 2 different kinds of pills and a bath from the vet, to be given once a week. The bath is important that you don't use an oatmeal shampoo. Yeast eat oatmeal and it multiplies them on the skin.
You can also put yeast infections in dogs in the search bar of thriftyfun.com to see what others have posted on it.
If it is a yeast infection of the ears, are you softly cleaning out the ears each day? You don't go deep into them but you clean them until nothing comes out on the cloth, I use baby oil sometimes or olive oil on a cotton ball.
Check out earthclinic.com on the pets tab to see what others are doing.
I would go to the vets first and see if you can change to a dog food that has a number one ingredient that is not a by-product.
A bad skin infection, with yeast will cause the dog to itch all the time and it's ears will have a dark coloring around the edges of it.
PS Never give brewers yeast to prevent fleas like you might read on some sites. It can cause a major yeast attack.
