Common Questions and Answers about Difference between yeast infection and jock itch

yeast-infection

Avatar n tn If it's a yeast infection, any of the products they make for women's yeast infections would work. If it's jock itch, try a product made for it. You could start with a jock-itch cream, and if it doesn't work, move to a yeast-infection cream. All of those are available right on the shelf at the grocery store or the drugstore.
Avatar n tn As already stated, jock itch is caused by a fungus. Yeast is a fungus. And yes, most importantly, jock itch can have an odor similar to what you are describing.
Avatar m tn Your itchiness in the genital area is highly likely to be caused by a fungal problem called Thrush. Your groin joint pain and back pain may be due to arthritis or from urinary infections or bowel problems. You can get itchiness and soreness in the groin area in the folds of skin if you are overweight.
Avatar n tn Jock itch would not cause discharge. But male yeast infection is very rare and wouldn't go down your legs. I would keep the area dry and use jock itch cream twice a day. This could be a fungal infection. Do not dry that area after you dry your feet. The skin in that area is very sensitive and takes awhile to get back to normal.
Avatar f tn Also, the first doctor I saw gave me pills for yeast infection as she thougt it was jock itch and a yeast infection at the same time (forgot to mention that in first post). Can a yeast infection cause blisters? What is a bacterial infection? What are the symptoms and cause of that?
Avatar f tn I have a rash up under my breast and between my thighs as well the itching is driving me crazy. I try to get it dry it it jock itch or something else It feels like my body is turning against me for some reason.
Avatar m tn Even with using athletes foot/jock itch cream. What else can i do?? And can i give her another yeast infection if we have sex?
Avatar m tn Hi I have a yeast infection and my s/o does as well how can he get rid of his? i have been giving him Monostat to put on nightly will this cure it we are on day 3?
Avatar m tn It has the symptoms of a yeast infection such as redness, itching and it goes away everytime i apply the yeast cream but it comes back once a while. Thanks.
Avatar m tn When i first noticed the dots i went to the doctor and he gave me a cream to treat jock itch, yeast infection, ect. I was also tested for syphillis in which the test came back negative. The cream is not helping. Also there are two small sores on the base of my penis and the dots are still there. Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is really frustrating me.
Avatar n tn They make it worse for me. I also thought it was jock itch. jock itch spray actually worked the best. One time it was itching bad and I sprayed lotrimin on it it made the itching go away and the redness went away. But the doctor says it's eczema. Check out past comments on this.
Avatar m tn How can you tell the difference between a possible herpes rash and a yeast rash on the head of your penis?? I had unprotected sex with a friend of mine on may 14th and then again on June 4th. After the 2nd episode, I noticed a red spot on my penis that came and went, and then came back a few days later with more. These red dots then began to open up, and looked white on the end, they itched alot but did not hurt at all.
Avatar n tn Use Lotrimin cream or other antifungal cream for jock itch or foot fungus. It doesn't matter what it says it's for; the cream is all the same. Follow the directions on the tube. For the nail fungus, get pure tea tree oil and put that on your nail every day, twice a day if possible, but at least once a day. It will take months and it smells pretty much like turpentine, but it won't hurt you. There are oral antifungals, but they have the potential to harm your liver.
Avatar f tn ve been really itchy for the past two months inbetween where my Vagina ends and my butthole begins and i thought it might be jock itch because my boyfriend had it and i read you can catch that from them from having sex. So i was using Lotrimin and it helped a little bit for itch but not for long, i usually wear thongs but for a while i couldnt even wear one because it would make the itch worse.
Avatar m tn s syndrome on my Pee Pee, or more accurately on the skin around my upper thigh, crotch, scrotum and rectum. Foul smelling, burning, itching jock-itch of some kind that seems impervious to any ointment my doctor has prescribed. I've used women's vag cream for yeast infection, athletes-foot creams, anti-fungal creams, anti-fungal powders, shaving the hair off my genitals, every deodorant soap known to mankind and even Dry Idea underarm deodorant to cover up the smell.
Avatar n tn Hi Blue, A yeast infection can go back and forth between you both, its best if you both go on meds to clean it up, even if he shows no infection.
Avatar f tn m afraid it might be more then just jock itch and a yeast infection please help us because if its something worse I would like to know so we can go get checked out instead of spending money on over the counter yeast infection stuff and jock itch stuff thank you
Avatar m tn so I went to get a yeast infection drug with miconazole nitrate. I have to say...so far it works great and I am only in the second day. Rash is almost gone but the itching and stinging comes and goes...is that normal? Should I expect those symptoms to stay a little longer, or maybe the drug just provides temporary relief? Please help...
Avatar f tn I did however get bad jock itch. I believe the girl I wad seeing may have had a yeast infection. I saw what I thought was t.p. but I now have a white substance in my groin at the end of the day. Could I have gotten her yeast infection, if thats what it was from this episode?
Avatar n tn Ive ha a weird itch and red ball bag the past week....
Avatar m tn what is normal yeast in the mouth, isn't always so normal in the genital area. we also always have yeast on our bodies and it's easy for it to over grow and cause things like jock itch too. no way to know if you got it from oral sex with someone or if it happened on its own.
Avatar m tn I think I was mistaking yeast infection with jock itch, since I assumed they were both the same thing.
Avatar n tn Could it be an infection from the lesions, a yeast infection, or a continuation of Jock Itch? Does sever Jock Itch scar? What are your seggestions? Is there anything I can do to help clear this issue?
Avatar f tn Okay so I know it isn't possible for women to get jock itch. My boyfriend recently came back home from a trip and we have been having sex a lot since he's gotten back. Like, at least 3 times a day. I started noticing that My vagina was begging to get irritated and my labia was itching. I assumed it was just caused from friction. Before the symptoms, I specifically remember sleeping naked with him one night and I have athletes foot on my right foot.
