A member asked:

Scrotum fungus can i still have sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scrotal Infection: Most likely you have a yeast infection, particularly if you have diabetes. Treatment is usually a topical anti-yeast medication. While yeast can be transmitted back and forth, i would wait until the area has healed before resuming intercourse.
