How do u treat a yeast infection for a male?
In thе last 2 days, mу bf wаѕ complaining hіѕ penis wаѕ a lіttlе irritated. Wе didn’t thіnk much οf іt bесаυѕе wе figured іt wаѕ thе soap, whісh wаѕ a problem іn thе past. Bυt јυѕt today, I come tο thе realization thаt I hаνе a yeast infection. I bουght thе Monistat аnd used іt asap. I already feel better аnd wіll continue wіth treatment. Mу qυеѕtіοn іѕ hοw іѕ a male yeast infection treated? Besides nοt having sex.
Anу аnd аll аnѕwеrѕ аrе appreciated.
Thanks іn advance.
get creams for “jock itch” at drug store. If they don’t work he can get something stronger from his doctor. Make sure he is keeping his genitals dry – cotton underwear.
male yeast infections are mostly an issue of hygiene… the infection usually grows under the foreskin and can be washed off,,, with a antibacterial soap would be best…
depending on where it is on him, lotramin for the scrotom, and jock itch spray for actual shaft, good luck treat it or u will pass it back and forth to each other….
He should wash under the foreskin properly with soap and warm water. Dry it up and apply a copious amount of antibiotic cream.
You should have yourself treated too so that he doesn’t catch them again, or even vice-versa.
Don’t use antibiotic cream or antibacterial soap! Yeast is a fungal infection, not a bacterial infection. Antibiotics often cause yeast infections and they definitely won’t fix it. Using antibiotic cream would make it worse because it can also kill off the “good” bacteria that lives down there.
Plain yoghurt can work for a yeast infection but you should be able to get an over the counter cream like the one you’re using and apply it to his area. Go to the pharmacy and ask. Better use condoms until you’re better.
