A : A male yeast infection is often known as jock itch. This can cause redness, itching, scaling, and may even cause burning. There are multiple other the counter creams specifically stated to cure "jock itch" the active ingredient is most likely the an anti-fungal medication clotrimazole. This cream is usually used two times a day for 7-14 days. If this does not work then you may be dealing with something else, and should have an examination by a medical provider.

Yes: The yeast infection will respond to anti-yeast cream or powder, no matter if it is marketed to a female or to a male.
