yeast infection on infant boys

i never did get tested for the hiv infection but now i had a child a month after and he has really bad yeast infection covering his whole face and neck i an freaking out is that a sign

Maybe he does have a little digestive upset and that is why he is pooping so much. Babies can get a diaper rash that is like a yeast infection, it hurts them a lot. You can use Vagisil on that, if you can believe it. If it gets really bad, there are some good prescription creams available through the pediatrician.

I have no idea about the Monistat timeline, but I know probiotics help with yeast infections. There is a yogurt drink out there called kefir, and I have used it every time my boys took antibiotics. Hope things clear up fast!

Do you know what you are having? (Boy or girl) i heard you only get yeast infections with boys but i can be terribly wrong.

My oldest son had enlarged nipples at that age. You know how you see very fat men who have breasts? He didn't look like that. It was just his nipples that were enlarged. All the rest of him was thin. For him, this lasted about 4 years and now his nipples are flat. During the interim he would wear underarmour swim shirts or some other t-shirt to swim, because his nipples were really obvious. They were like the size of Hersey Kisses.

s, well to many can cause a yeast infection, just like if a woman uses soap in the vagina, it can cause a chemical yeast infection and so forth. Also, make sure the undies he is wearing are rinsed well, or if you have switched detergents/body soap recently. I have to use ALL Free on my boys and on myself as we all have eczema. I too am not a HUGE fan of A&D ointment, I mainly use it on the kids for chapped lips.

Only complication I have heard of a yeast infection causing to the baby is that it will be more likely to have thrush.... I was looking it up the other day and that's all I could find.... I also read that a lot of midwives will say to let it run it's course....

I should say that I JUST started the birth control pill last Sunday which I have heard can cause a yeast infection. I also should mention that my infant niece who I care for is just getting over a yeast infection as well. The agitation has been present for about two to three days. No real itching or issues either.

you should not be worried..i have three boys...you have to pull it back to make sure its clean...dont you pull it back when you give him a bath? a boy foreskin is like creses on a womans private.. you have to check it and keep it clean..but carfully if you decide to go back to the doctors when he is ready to do that part of the exam tell him you feel more comfortable if you do it..

I should definitely get started on the cranberry. I haven't given that a try yet. Did your baby come out healthy anyway? I read somewhere that when baby passes through during yeast infection, they could get Thrush. But also heard it is treatable depending on severity of the infection. I'm just trying to avoid the baby from getting the infection altogether.

What is ok to take for a yeast infection? I don't go to the Dr. Til Tuesday. I heard the one time fluconazole pill cause birth defects. Don't know how true it is just wanna be safe. Or should I try monistat 7. Im scared to take any kind of pills while pregnant I don't even take Tylenol I use home remedies. Im a ftm & curious.

My beagle was on that for his bacterial pyodermas, but also on Fluconazole for the yeast he had. There are different types of yeast/fungals, some will present with a lot of itching, redness, inflammation, just like us w/yeast infections, but no waxy stuff and others are this dark waxy stuff but not much itching. it's basically the same brownish yucky/stinky stuff they get in their ears.

He is circumsized(sp) but his pee hole and foreskin is red and he said tonight that what hurts. It looks irriated and sore. Can boys get yeast infections? He also recently had a weird bumpy rash that was itchy on his butt cheeks and inside his leg but that has gone away we thought it was a reaction to the chicken pox vaccine and treated it with calamine lotion and oatmeal bathes. If anyone has any ideas that would be greatly appreciated.

you could have a yeast infecton(yes boys can get them, especially if unsnipped) or other type of bacterial infection not sex related. Or if ur having sex w/o proper use of a condom, you could have contracted an std. When it comes to concerns of ur sexual health, DO NOT BE AFRAID OF UR FAMILY DR or family planning, they have teen clinics for boys! If some std's or infections are not treated you are risking intesified syptoms and infertility.

not the looks just all the health issues!! like bacteria grows in the fore skin and if i have a yeast infection he can get it also or vis versa (they call it some else with a man but its basically a male yeast infection) we been to the clinic so many times!

However, there seems to be no cause of much worrying here. This may be a form of dermatitis or a fungal infection. The shiny and flaky skin may suggest a yeast infection. There may be an overlying dermatitis which may aggravate the itchiness and cause much redness. I suggest that you have your son assessed by a dermatologist. Topical low potency corticosteroids with antifungal preparations may help. Wash the area with a mild and bland cleanser such as cetaphil.

t help in your decision, but I will just state that we plan on circumsizing any boys we have! There is a new way to circumsize that does not involve cutting. My SIL used this method with her son. It was a ring that placed on the foreskin that cut off the circulation to the skin, causing it to die and fall off. My nephew never seemed to mind it and it didn't seem painful (he didn't cry or anything). But again, do what is best for BABY, not your hubby.

When we rub a wet newspaper it creates small moulds, so the same thing happens to my **** almost everyday except its white. I have been getting lots of oral sex so i think its 'yeast' infection but i dont know exactly, so please help.

It's a bacterial infection found in the vagina that can cause problems for the baby.

Doctor dint gave me any test regarding yeast infection!! The moment he saw the condition of my penis and started writing the medicines he is a experienced Dermatologist !! Before conducting the derm doc i consulted a GP... he told me to take some blood regarding STD tests!! VDRL were non reactive!! Today i consulted another new doc he told me the infection has gone 80% and given me a test for sugar and HBA1C and urine culture!!! Am just 21 years old!! Please help!! Any thing to worry about??

if you apply some acidolpholous and he feels better, you probably have a yeast infection on your hands - but please note the infection starts from the inside out, and real cure will work the same way. wow! sorry that's so long - i hope you find out what it is and that your son feels better soon - may God bless you and keep you.

i have a newborn and before i left the hospital they worned me that newborns can have a baby menstrual cycle, discharge, milk in breast (even in boys). i would just call your doc. but probabally nothing to worry about.

s been working in pediatrics for 7 years I have yet to see a circumcised boy with a UTI, however I have seen several uncircumcised boys with them. I have also seen so many little boys who get adhesions (which are very painful) because the for skin isn't properly retracted, as well as some kids where as they grow it gets so tight that they need to be circumcised as older children/ young adults. It is each mothers choice though.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I've had a couple bacterial infections and recently I've noticed some little white bumps in the vaginal area. I was wondering if this could be from the bacterial infection? Or if it could be from a yeast infection? I have an appointment tomorrow but it's really worrying me and I was just looking for some answers.

I am now 36 weeks and have my 3rd yeast infection and have had one uti since I hit my 3rd trimester. I am so tired of getting infections. It just want to cry about it but I know it won't change anything.
