Male Yeast Infection

Posted by Ronald Raygun (268 days ago)

I went to the doctor about 8 weeks ago with what was a yeast infection but the doctor just told me it was a skin irritation.

So I took the medication and it went away but then it came back.

Went back again, got more medication still without knowing exactly what it was. It came back again.

So I went to a new doctor who told me I had a yeast infection and that my girlfriend should get a check too. She also had took medication and its gone.

The new doc gave me medication for the reoccurrance (antifungal pills and cream and wash) but after 7 days its still not completely gone, still have a bit of redness.

Could it be I am immune to the antifungal drugs? What should I do now?

If its genital area fungus infection, it is really frustrating, here are tree things you might do.

1 Try to get sulfur ointment and zinc oxide ointment, its OTC in china mainland but don’t know in HK,

2 Rub on the spot two times a day, in the morning and evening,
Try to use the sulfur in the evening because it has little sulfur smell. And the zinc oxide in the morning,

3 You need to take a shower any time before applying the medicine and make sure that you use DRY towel and you put on DRY and CLEAN underwear. you should change your underwear every time you take shower.

If its fungus and you follow this way, you might see difference in two or tree days and you will continue for tree weeks. You should avoid any WET towels and underwear so it won’t come back again.

Yogurt works for women, but I'm not sure it works for men.

Besides the medication like pills and ointment, another important thing you have to remember is that sex is not allowed before you totally recover. It helps you to avoid cross infection. But you'd better have a discharge test again to be 100% sure if it is yeast infection or just skin irritation.
