Avatar n tn By all means do not scratch the area this makes it worse and drives infection down more layers of skin Shower and clean the area. Then try putting a half yeast infection cream and half hydrocortisone cream on the affected area and around it. Apply for about a week 2 times a day morning and night. Its the best fit for those sensitive areas.Lol Yeast infection cream kills the fungus and the hydrocortisone relieves the itch and promotes skin grow.
Avatar f tn can a yeast infection cause a rash on bum? Does a colonoscopy make you more vunerable to yeast infections? or gastrointestinal problems?
Avatar f tn The package insert included in yeast infection medication says if this is your first time experiencing these symptoms to go see a doctor so that is probably the best thing to do just to make sure it is nothing serious and that is treated properly. A doctor may also give you better medication to treat an infection then what you would get at the drugstore.
Avatar f tn About a month ago I developed a rash on my penis, I was diagonosed with a yeast infection. I used nystston powder for a week and the rash went away, however I still have a clammy sensation and at times a dull pain in my penis...is this normal or should I be concerned?
Avatar n tn my problem is, i have developed a rash under my foreskin that has persisted for more than 4 months. it causes the foreskin to shrink around the head of my penis and a rash appears under the foreskin and on the head of the penis. it itches terribly and when i pull the skin back to clean; the foreskin splits to the point of bleeding. my physician prescribed Diflucan( which worked years ago) but no longer has any effect.
Avatar n tn It burns quite a bit and I also noticed that it is red around my genitals but not burning just a slight itching (which was there before this started due to an external yeast infection). Unfortunately, I have been dealing with an external yeast infection for quite a while. I was at the doctors quite a few times and the last time I went she said just keep it clean and dry. I had been doing that for a while and it seemed to keep it under control.
Avatar f tn Flagyl almost always causes yeast overgrowth so even though you treated yourself with over the counter medication the fact that you began Flagyl/Metronidazole after the fact possibly caused the overgrowth of yeast again. If there's ever a next time, ask your doctor to prescribe fluconazole/Diflucan - or use the 3 or 7 day over the counter treatment. Fluconazole is an antifungal medication used to treat vaginal yeast infections.
Avatar f tn It could be a yeast infection, if you were on antibiotics which i dont doubt u were, the antibiotics can cause you to get a yeast infection. It happens to me when ever im on antibiotics.
Avatar f tn My boyfriend of 3 years and I took a break for about a week. In that week I had unprotected sex with somebody else. Now a week has passed & I'm back with my boyfriend. A day After I had sex with my boyfriend I started to get an itchy burning sensation. I've never had a yeast infection before so I don't know if the symptoms I'm having are that. We had sex on Sunday & immediately after we were done My vagina burned on the inside and Swelled.
Avatar m tn The doctor keeps telling me that if i had itchiness before the incident and have seen the rash before aswell you might have contracted a yeast from my girlfriend. The cheesy stuff has been coming out for about 6 days now but getting better with the monistat, the itchy went away but i still have the mild burning tip. I am a mess! i cannot focus on anything and i dont want to loose my relationship. please help.
Avatar f tn Looked down and the head of my penis was covered with this white cottage cheese like and it had a strong oder. Got scared went to the doc he said it was yeast infection well almost on my 4th week and it seems to have subsided atleast thats what im hoping for. Yesterday on the head of my penis their was this patch of skinlike thing and I was able to take it of.
Avatar f tn I'm just freaking myself out so much because I was informed it wasn't a yeast infection or BV which is what I thought it was and what would have made a lot more sense so now I'm really scared. I haven't had any open sores yet or Any vaginal bumps but it's still just itchy. My boyfriend hasn't experienced any symptoms at all. Does this sound like herpes to you?
Avatar m tn 5 for about 2 and half months, but i went to the doc for a yeast infection on my penis nd scrotum, he gave me a cream three times and none have worked.
Avatar f tn Sweetie, why the dramatic thoughts over a yeast infection? Every single woman on the face of the planet gets one from time to time. Men do too! Yep, they can get yeast and fungal issues just like we can. Babies get them!!! It's just a shift in your ph that causes an overgrowth of yeast. You can get them in your vagina, your mouth, etc. NOT a big deal. Not related to sex or being sexual. We can get them from taking antibiotics even. Really, not a big deal.
Avatar n tn A somewhat unusual or unexpected strep infection is perianal disease. This presents as an intensely red rash around the anus, which is usually mistaken for a yeast infection (Candida). However, antifungal medications such as nystatin cream are useless. The rash disappears promptly with oral penicillin or erythromycin treatment. Intertrigo, infection of moist crease areas, is most often due to Candida albicans (yeast) infection. It may however be caused by Group A Streptococcus, as well.
Avatar m tn Wow, why would you use cortisone regularly? The rash is probably from sweating. Do you shower regularly? Using some corn starch there to prevent the sweating that is probably causing your problem in the armpits might save you some problems, as cortisone can cause a lot of problems. Mainly, at least in this post, you don't say why you think you have a yeast infection. Not to say it never happens, but men don't usually get them.
Avatar f tn I've been taking Keflex and Prednisone for an ear infection that I've had for 2 months (this is my 3rd antibiotic in the last 2 months) and I have developed a very red rash starting right below the opening of my vagina, the skin beside it(kinda the start of my ver inner butt cheek), all the way up to my anus. The rash is itchy and sore (esp on my anus). It looks like a severe diaper rash. I've seen this type of rash on a friends child who had an external yeast infection.
Avatar f tn Sometimes I get shooting pains in my breasts. It has not spread from these areas. I thought it could be a yeast infection, so I started applying Lotrimin cream. I've used it for 7 days and the rash isn't any better. Does this sound like it could be a yeast infection? Does the cream need longer to work? Of course I started reading on the internet and have scared myself silly because of the horror stories of the yeast that spreads throughout your entire body and kills you.
Avatar f tn Can you get a yeast infection when pregnant? And if so whats the causes?
Avatar f tn My daughter has been admitted to the hospital. She has a bad yeast infection. Her MS is progessive. Her hand has bad pressure sores because of the extreme pressure in her left side. The wound care team has been called to help with her treatment. She has pressure a sore on her tail bone. The rash is around and through her groin area. Just would like so input about this problem. Les is very thin for a women that is 5'7". She is having alot of pain.
Avatar m tn About 2 months ago I was treated for a non-specific urethretis. I received antibiotics for 10 days and after this had a bad bout of yeast infection. It's at this time I noticed this red patch with very small bumps within it. It would look really red after any sort of ejaculation or friction. The patch would be ever so slightly itchy and sensitive to touch (slight pain).
Avatar n tn ive been very tired and irratable as of late also. when i look up yeast infection photos it looks very similiar. i bought miconazole 7 vaginal anti fungal because i couldnt find anything for males and have been using it for a day. it seems to take the pain and itch away. PLEASE HELP!
Avatar f tn Could I have been given incorrect Herpes test results and infected my BF? Can a guy get a yeast infection from sex? Would it result in a rash?
Avatar n tn it could be eczema or a yeast infection have you recently changed deodorant or washing powders?
Avatar n tn But if the date of periods is not expected then it can be due to other causes like infection of the cervix or friable growths of cervix like cervical polyps also. In that case, a pelvic examination is needed. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
