Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn t think much of it but when i got home to take a shower and i took off my cloths i noticed some irritation on the skin and when i pulled the skin down i could see peeling on the skin, it smelled really bad and was kinda stinging. i looked up what this could be (forgetting about what my girlfriend told me) and discovered a couple things then ran across a yeast infection. i am applying antibiotic ointment right now but i believe i may need some sort of special cream.
Avatar n tn m wondering do I have a yeast infection combined with having irritated my rectal/anal area with the baby wipes on a shaved area? I've also been having some mild cramping in my uterus/bladder area like I've had before with a UTI but it doesn't hurt at all to pee. I don't wear cotton underwear a lot except at night and I do work out a lot and work in a gym so I'm constantly sweating but I've not had this before.
Avatar f tn 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. Ah, the joys of Google! Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn Hi After a female touched her vagina then touched my penis and have me a hand job I had a bit of redness and dry cracked lines on the tip of my penis. I went to the doctor and they said it seems like I have a yeast infection so they gave me canistan cream and I've been using this for weeks now and the symptoms are not going away. Does anyone know why? Is it true that some yeast infections may need antibiotics if the cream are not working? Would be grateful if someone could help me. Thanks!
Avatar m tn Ok. I Had a yeast infection about a month ago. Me and my partner had unprotected sex. I had discomfort at the begging and end. it's been almost a week and started having discomfort. I found a bump and it sung if i touched it. then it dind't hurt andymore and it was sort of under the skin. Then later that day I found one like below the clitoris. But it was above skin and it din't stink it was just really sensitive and itched reallly bad.
Avatar f tn I'm about five months pregnant, and am being treated for a yeast infection. A couple days ago I got a cauliflower like bump ans a couple of skin grafts around my vulva. It's not any yup of std/sti, but I was wondering if any other woman is experiencing them? I'm not sure if it has something to do with my infection, it doesn't hurt at all and I can't feel it. I just can't get ahold of my doctor and wanted to make sure it was nothing to worry about.
Avatar m tn It is a small, sharply circumscribed, pigmented macule surrounded by normal-appearing skin. Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection of the skin caused by the yeast Pityrosporum ovale. This yeast occurs naturally on everyone's skin. When the yeast starts to multiply rapidly, it can form small colonies on the skin's surface. The reason the yeast does this on some people but not others is unknown, but it is known that tinea versicolor is not contagious.
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 n tn after realilzing it, I made an appointment and I was given a cream to treat the possibility of a yeast infection on my breast. I was also sent immediately for a mammogram(i am only 34) and am seeing a breast surgeon next week. the mammogram was clear and the cream has helped some however in my research I cannot find anything about yeast infections without breastfeeding. Is it possible to have a yeast infection on the breast without being pregnant or having a baby?
Avatar m tn three years ago i began experiencing a yeast infection on the shaft of my penis. Each morning i wake up i will have a yeasty-like substance on my penis head. I've tried prescribed meds as well as over the counter. It will go awy three/four days then re-appear. During the times of treatment my wife and uses condoms. I've been tested for STD's and My wife! NOTHING! Not that i expected anything. I was check for penile cancer and diabetes! NOTHING!
Avatar m tn When you wash, do not use any soaps or shower gels, this changes the pH level on the skin and makes the yeast fungus get out of hand. If you have a very sugary diet or take antibiotics, that too can make the yeast fungus get out of hand. Wash your clothes using a non-biological washing detergent and a fabric softener suitable for sensitive skin. Don't wear tight clothing and only wear cotton underwear.
Avatar m tn 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??
Avatar m tn I have a skin rash on my foreskin that is only there when my penis gets engorged with blood. It turns real red bright red when manipulated or an errection when flacid its normal color. It doesnt hurt during the day or when not excited and when i am its just a little tender kinda thin skinned feeling. I have had prostritus and think maybe its gone i am not sure, my seman is thick and no burning when urinating but slow stream .
Avatar n tn Leaving aside whether what you had on your penis was actually a yeast infection (and not just irritation), what you had on your lip was not related and your sugar cravings, etc. are certainly not related. The whole notion of a "systemic yeast infection" is an alternative medicine concept that has nothing to do with what medical doctors mean by yeast infections that affect the skin, for instance.
Avatar n tn I have not gone to a dermatologist because I a few years ago I had yeast infection on my glans, was given prescribed medication and it did not work. I got that yeast cleared with cinnamon bark oil. Is yeast infection the same as a fungus? Is there any oral medication I can purchase and try? Any guidance is appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar n tn About 1 1/2 month ago my wife and i had intercourse and she stated to me that she might have a yeast infection,we still had intercourse and a day later i had a swellness on my foreskin the size of an cherry ,we went to CVS and bought some yeast infection cream and medicated yeast wipes and it went away the next day.
Avatar f tn Ya, you can get a yeast infection of your testicles after sex with a woman that has a yeast infection. See your doctor if you haven't already if it hasn't cleared up yet.
Avatar m tn my boyfriend of over a year now has been dealing with a problem of dry flaky skin on his penis it often gets worse after sex or mastrabation and some time will even become so raw it will get open sores. ive recently gotten pregnant so i have had an exam and have been tested for all stds. we found i had a small yeast infection witch i got medicane for me and him to fix the problem mine went away but his symptoms have stayed and have had no changes.
Avatar f tn A yeast infection is when the yeast in the vagina, mouth or skin grows out of control so it causes redness and itching. A vaginal yeast infection is usually triggered after the person takes antibiotics, as they also kill good bacteria in the vagina that normally controls the yeast numbers. Natural yogurt with no sugar is the best treatment for it as if contains the bacteria bactillophillus adicophillus (spelling) which feeds on the yeast and regains that natural balance. Hope that helps!
Avatar m tn Hi, I have had a lot of weird problems with my penis lately. I've never had any problems during sex before, but about a week after I met my girlfriend (around the middle of November), I noticed a few red dots on the top of my penis, after sex. They didn't hurt at all but I went to the doctor to check it out. He tested me for STDs and yeast and everything was negative.
Avatar m tn i cheated on her.
