Male Yeast Infection

is it possible for a male yeast infection to make me ill?

By YeastDr on Wednesday, July 7th, 2010 | 1 Comment

i’m not exactly sure if it is a yeast infection, but the head of my penis has a patchy red spot all around the rim of the head with a couple red spots. About a day after i noticed the redness i got sick with a fever, headache and i was uncomfortable. It itched a lot the first day i noticed it and now it only kind of itches.

I thought it might have been herpes too but the spots aren’t really bumps and there is no white in the center of them.

Even without the bumps or white spots does it sound like herpes because of the sickness? Or could it be a yeast infection? The pictures for yeast infections matched closer most the time to what i’v noticed then the pictures for herpes but i’m really not sure.

Also, how long does a male yeast infection take to develop?

I’m going to get tested but i could use some insight. Thank you.

What Dr. to see for a male yeast infection?

By YeastDr on Friday, July 2nd, 2010 | 8 Comments

My story. Over the summer I slept with a new partner. Not even 48 hours later I had a red spot/rash on the head of my penis. Tested negative for STD’s. After doing research I’m almost positive it’s a male yeast infection. I read it can show up 12 hours to 5 days. I havent seen anything else where symptoms show up not even 48 hours later. So what Dr would be best? I would obviously like to get it taken care of ASAP, so if the Dr. does say it’s a yeast infection, I’d love to get it taken care of then(if possible) rather than being referred to another Dr. Thanks!
Thanks for the help. I thought I’d see what people have done before so I know what Dr. to contact.

I’ve tried Monistat with some progress but didn’t clear up. I know it doesn’t always work on guys.

And as far as a prego test, I think I’ll pass. I haven’t heard of any guys ever getting pregnant themselves.

I’m well aware of my mistake and I’m sure most people are after they do go through something. I person dislike when people say something like "stop having unprotected sex blah blah blah". I’m sure it doesn’t make the person feel any better about themselves. It’s just reinforcing the fact that they made a mistake. I’m sure there’s a better way to word something like that. I know you probably mean well though.

Do I have a male yeast infection?

*Gross description included, don’t read if you’re squeamish.*

My girlfriend and I are pretty sure that she has a yeast infection. However, she did not tell me this until AFTER we had unprotected sex. That was a few days ago, and now the head of my penis is itchy, and i noticed that it was really red. Also, there is this white…stuff. I don’t really know what it is but it’s there every time i pull back my foreskin.
But it doesn’t burn to urinate. I shower every day (thoroughly) so that white stuff isn’t any residue or anything. These are the only symptoms that I’ve noticed.

Could I have a male yeast infection? How do I get rid of it? If it’s meds I’m kind of screwed cuz I’m broke for the next 2 weeks at least.

Can you cure a male yeast infection with otc creams?
can you cure a male yeast infection with otc creams?
like monistat? If a man has a yeast infection can he just put some external cream over his penis for several days and cure it? I don’t KNOW for sure I have it, my girlfriend had one and we had sex without a condom (she’s on the pill). I just found out I could have one and not know it, then we’ll pass it back and forth. can I use some cream from a monistat?
I don’t feel any different, so I’m probably not infected.
Does it make any difference if it’s circumsized? I’m circumsized, so it’s not like I have the foreskin for it to grow in.
