A member asked:

I have been battling penile dermatitis for a months day and i used vulva yeast infection cream and it brought relief temporarily what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Penile rash: If the cream provided relief then you might have a simple fungal infection. This can be resolved with antifungal topical medication. If not, see a GP or Dermatologist to verify diagnosis.
