Question 1

what are the symptoms of a yeast infection on a penis?

Accepted Answer

Burning, itching: A yeast infection of the skin of the groin, called tinea cruris, presents as intensely red, itchy, with occasionally in burning pain sensation. If you know someone with these symptoms, have him evaluated by a physician. Hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose, breathable fabrics, and use of prescription topical antifungal medications are necessary to control the infection.

Question 2

had sex with my husband( may have had a yeast infection took difluc.)three days later he had a round flat spot on lower shaft of penis. had sex 3 weeks later and he got another one on the head. first one has faded since. no other symptoms. balantis??

Accepted Answer

: Yeast infections can be passed back and forth between partners. In men it generally involves the head of the penis and foreskin if there's one. Balanitis causes the head of the penis to be red,irritated and itchy.  I haven't seen one affect the penis shaft. I recommend treating him with antifungal ointment&amp;you taking another course of diflucan. Abstain from intercourse until you're both cleared.

Question 3

Topical cream: You want to make sure that this is the correct diagnosis. There are other diseases that can cause a skin lesion on the penis.  If it is yeast you usually will use a prescription antifungal cream.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Get exam: Since you have continuing issues with your penis I recommend an examination by your physician or a urologist to see what the matter is. Normal penis tissue shouldn't be bumpy. You will also be instructed on good penis hygiene.

Question 6

Balanitis: You should see a physician in person. Balanitis can be due to both bacterial and fungal sources, and it may indicate that your Type 2 Diabetes is out of control. Make sure you are safe by visiting your doctor, getting a diagnosis and the proper treatment which may include oral medication and/or a prescription strength cream.
Good luck. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000862.htm

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately STDs: can appear this way sometimes. You need to be tested to be certain that this is not something more serious and transmissible. See a health care provider for evaluation.

Question 8

can i use boric acid to help clear up a yeast infection of the penis? if so, how could i be able to do it? if not, can you please explain why?

Accepted Answer

: Boric acid has not been studied for its effectiveness for external (like penile) yeast infections. It may help women with vaginal yeast, but even here more effective and reliable treatments are available. You (or he) could try an OTC anti fungal cream; look for products along with those for athlete's foot and jock itch (tinea curries). If that doesn't help, see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment

Question 9

If he hasn't: had a medical evaluation of his penile infection yet - that would be the next step. It may or maynot be yeast.

Question 10

Topical antifungals: Antifungal creams are generally effective in treating penile fungal infections. If these fails, sometimes oral pills may be needed.
