Yeast infection from jock itch

Common Questions and Answers about Yeast infection from jock itch

infection

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 Do you play sports or sweat a lot down there? If so, yes it can be a yeast infection but for guys, it's more reffered to as jock itch. You can get some ointment for it at wal-mart over the counter. Try it, if that doesn't help, go to the doc.
Avatar n tn Is there an odor associated with Jock Itch? I have what seems like a yeast-like odor that is not strong, but noticable, and I haven't read anything relating this to Jock Itch. Also...I understand the fungus Tinea Cruris is the cause, but what does it do to the skin to cause it to itch so badly? Poison Ivy was not as bad as this, and I am curious why this stuff is so itchy. Thanks a million!
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 Antifungal medications work fine, but not overnight. You have to keep using them consistently until the problem is gone. On the bottle of an athlete's foot powder I've used, it recommends applying the stuff everyday for 4 weeks. One would hope jock itch clears up faster, though. It's equally important to prevent it from occurring again. Fungal overgrowths that cause problems like jock itch, athlete's foot, yeast infections, diaper rash, etc.
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 n tn ) It has not responded at all to either jock itch or yeast infection medicines. There are two complications, one; I took a round of antibiotics about 1-2 weeks prior, 2; I do fish research so I can spend up to 30 hrs a week in waders (i.e. you are wet and clammy.) Both these would led me to guess a yeast infection but medicine for this has had 0 effect. What else could it possibly be??
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 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 m tn can a male develope a yeast infection in his penis by receiving oral sex - in other words does having someone give me a blow job cause a yeast infection?
Avatar m tn I think I was mistaking yeast infection with jock itch, since I assumed they were both the same thing.
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.
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 n tn have you ever tried to use a jock itch cream or spray? other possibilities include a yeast infection or dermatitis. 10 years is a long time. you should have your doctor or a dermatologist check it out so that you can get an appropriate diagnosis / treatment.
Avatar n tn do you think i could have gotten a bladder infection from the jock itch?
Avatar n tn I thought taking products containing lactobacillus (good bacteria) like Azo Yeast etc can prevent yeast infection to reoccur. But I have read that they can cause dental caries (which I can notice ). http://en.wikipedia.
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 37 Years Old; Had protected oral sex & vaginal intercourse with a prostitute in Nov. '07. Big mistake! Shortly after developed an itch on the head of my penis. Urologist diagnosed it as a yeast infection that I might've gotten from my wife. She, in fact, had a yeast infection [although it troubles me not knowing if I passed it on to her].
Avatar m tn how do u get a yeast infection?how do they check if i have an yeast infection?and how do i ask to check if i have an yeast infection?
Avatar m tn I was seen, looked at, and then told it was a yeast infection. Jock itch the doctor called it. Such a common problem with men but having no idea what fungal infections looked like I never would have come to that diagnosis myself. So I left after being given an anti fungal pill and a prescription for Econazole Nitrate feeling like an idiot for having just left the ER with jock itch.
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 herpes won't just cause itching. you were on antibiotics, it is probably just jock itch and you can treat that with otc products. if you think it's more than jock itch, be seen again for a work up.
Avatar m tn Doctor said it was nothing and that it would go away by itself... The rash has been there for 3 months with no change. A friend of mine suggested jock itch treatment with over the counter drugs. Lotrimin ultra didnt do a thing...but surprisingly the powder spray of the same brand worked ok. I noticed that the active ingredient miconazole nitrate works really well with my case. I also noticed that vaginal yeast infections are being treated with the same ingredient...
Avatar f tn I have had a yeast infection before and over the counter monistat worked fine. I have a y. i. again but monistat don't work. Is there anything over there counter? I can't afford a doctor. Is there a prevention for it?
Avatar m tn I devolped jock itch, that didnt seem to want to leave. I adventually went to the doctor and was prescribed some anti-fungal cream which helped clear it up. Although, I still had one problem. The skin that is revelead on my penis when I have erection looks very red, dry, and chapped. The head, and skin also occasionally burns when I put moisturizing cream on it. I have not had any sexual intercourse for months, and I used a condom, so I can rule out an STD.
