A member asked:
I have a penile yeast infection and i bought miconazole my question is do i use the external cream or the vaginal suppositories?

Outside only...: External cream, if fungicidal, can kill this rash within the next week or 2 at the most. (used twice a day). Be sure that your partner is completely clean and clear also, or the intercourse will be a medium to keep passing the yeast infection back and forth. OTC Clotrimazole (Lotrimin) works particularly well. Good luck.

Cream: Use the external cream twice daily for a week after the infection seems to be gone to get rid of microscopic residual yeast to avoid recurrence. Are you diabetic? Has your fasting blood sugar been checked? Please see your primary care doctor to seek out underlying causes of immunosuppression, including hiv. A yeast infection in a male 18 year old is unusual.

External cream: Use the external cream on the rash twice a day until resolved. If it is not clearing up see your doctor.
