Biggest tip i can give to any male suffering from a yeast rash on your bum, perenium or groin is to go for a swim in the sea for 15 minutes 3 times in a day at least twice a week for just the one week(doctors advice). I did this and my very angry yeast rash went away, it all went scaly looking and red on my scrotum and then went back to normal, it will clear up and will take up to a few weeks after this remedy for the full result. It will be sore for a bit but it will instantly kill all the surface yeast and allow the body to start the healing process.

DO NOT PUT BACK ON THE CLOTHES YOU TOOK OFF BEFORE YOU WENT SWIMMING!!!
bring another underpants etc!!!!

if you have a yeast infection at the tip of the penis i believe the sea side trick may have no effect as stated this is for a surface rash.

My wife and I are both diabetics. About 2 years ago she had a YI and passed it on to me. At first I noticed a small reddening under my foreskin. It seemed to come and go on it’s own. Now it is a constant and my foreskin has become dry and has tiny hairline splitting of the skin. I have had several prescriptions, none of which have helped. This site has given me some ideas (and Hope!). I was particularily glad to learn that the foreskin cuts are not uncommon. I plan on starting a new treatment regimen with suggestions from this site. Thanks to all who have shared their information!

In another note DON’T wash your penis in warm water A yeast infection best Buddie. wash your penis with cold water the colder the better. be safe guys and good luck.

My first male yeast infection was at age 32. i cure it with just soap and water. My second yeast infection was at age 36. I cure it with a pill called Diflucan and a tropical cream called Clotrimazole.It was gone in two days. Make sure when you take Diflucan that you don’t drink alcohol if you do it will only kill the drug. now make sure you shower daily keep it dry guys a yeast can not survived in open air. when you take a shower tap your penis with a towel and air it out.The drug Diflucan works in your blood stream exposing your yeast. You will notice your penis bursting your so called rad spots and they will start to leak out.Once they are expose use the cream Clotrimazole to kill the yeast. It work for me.I hope this help if you have any questions just ask. Remember this is an infection not a diseases.

Let me give a little rundown of what I’ve dealt with. Some of what I’ve done may help you guys out a bit.

I got a yeast infection several years ago from a girl I’d slept with. Every since then, I’ve never been able to shake it entirely. It comes and goes and Ive tried various things to take care of it when it does pop up. I did not have the typical yeast infection on the penis. Mine’s predominantly on the scrotum. Extremely itchy, with cracks and dry skin and of course you itch and scratch and the skin comes off and makes you raw. It’s a nightmare. Here’s what I’ve done

1) guys, yeast thrives in a moist environment. You -must- dry off completely after a shower. I dry off with a towel for most of my body but I use a blow dryer to dry off my entire genital region and around my ass so there is no notable moisture on my skin.

2) Use a prescription powder (Nystatin) after each shower. Nystatin should be reapplied at least two or three times a day depending on how much you sweat or how moist you are. I highly recommend a shower both in the morningh and in the early evening with proper drying and application of Nystatin. Ask your doctor for the 60gram bottle. It’s a large enough bottle that it will allow you to reapply it without worrying about running out. Don’t let your the doctor prescribe the tiny bottles. they don’t give you enough powder to coat everything enough with multiple applications. Ask for a refill on the 60gram bottle as well. A good physician won’t argue with you about it. There’s no harm in making sure you’re covered for the duration.

3) Diflucan did not work for me at all.

4) Do not scrub or wash the infected region with any kind of loofa sponge or scrubber that you leave in the shower and re-use. The yeast will linger and hang out on it and you will give it right back to yourself. Wash with a washcloth and immediately wash it. The same thing goes for bars of soap. Keep them away from that region.

My physician told me to avoid the Nystatin creams, or any cream for that matter. Yeast thrives in a warm moist environment. Don’t give yeast a moist environment by applying creams. Just use nystatin powder. Ive treid the nystatin creams and creams did not help at all. They actually made me itch worse after being on for about 2 to 3 hours.

Baby powder or any other kind of talc powder did not work and only made it worse.

Yeast can generally be controlled quickly using nystatin powder and over-the-top hygeine control. It’s especially important to take multiple showers per day and dry off completely before applying the powder if you’re a heavier person. Heavier people develop moisture faster and don’t stay dry in the genital region. I’m a heavier guy and have to pay contstant attention to the moisture levels down below, often taking time out of my day for a quick shower, scrub, dry and powder application.

Good luck. Don’t avoid seeing a doctor just because you’re shy or embarassed. Just go, get the Nystatin powder, and change your habits. You should have it under control in just a few days. if you’re diligent.

Lol thats the best post ever, im very reluctant to dip my manly parts into some yogurt but yeah gravy and salad dressing may just do the trick!

Let me just say, I never thought I’d see the day I’d be dipping and holding my unit in a glass of vinegar/water mixture, followed by immersion in a glass of plain yogurt.

If I could just find some home remedy to cure the cracking foreskin, I’d be set. Maybe a dunk in a cup of salad dressing or gravy is in order…

after having great sex for couple weeks, I developed a rash on
my testicals not the penis. Went to a Dematologist who put me no
antibiotics for what he called Bacteria, two weeks later still there
another antibiotic called (ketaconazole) almost two to three weeks later still there. My girl has seen her Doctor no yeast infection, But last week she had severe Blatter infection and put on Ciparo, infection
cleared up. We have not had sex for two weeks or more. Why won’t this
go away? Have Doc apt. tommorrow need some answers. We are blamming
each other for this cause. What to do or where to go.

I notice a very brown discharge after sex.Instead of a white or clear discharge.Doctirs and Uroligist gave up saying there is no cause for concern.After analyst the discharge was found to be yeast and no sperms were found.I have tried antibiotics with no result.I am going to try yougart and will let you know.

ANTIBIOTIC???? HOw does an Antibiotic cure a fungal infection?? Every Dr. that I have been to has atributed my yeast infections to using antibiotics which cause a reduction in the probiotics that keep the yeast in check. Therefore taking antibiotics will just make it worse no????

Hello,

I Just tried Flagyl (500mg)twice a day for 7 days…..Did not work!!!

I did not realize my husband had one of these and gave him oral is it contagious?

alright my boyfriends got it in his mouth. wat do i do?

does male yeast infection only have to be on the penis? or can it also be on the ball sack as well?

You could try plain yogurt. The active cultures are natural probiotics and kill the excess yeast. Should work for men and women, works for athelete’s foot, too. Eating it regularly is a good idea but external application a couple of times a day until clear is what I’m refering to. Might want to let it get warm first.

Hello Rd,

How are your Symptoms…. Are you feeleing better….? I have been suffering from a penile yeast infection for a while and having trouble finding a cure…

Hey guys,

I have a PhD in Food Nutrition, I have a office in my town and in alot of cases local doctors refer patients to me that seek homeopathic cures. I my self had a yeast infection years ago, I went to my local doctor and he prescribed numerous medications that only got rid of the infection for a short time.After school I learned the ins and out the human body. I have recommended this treatment to all my patients and my self and there has been a 98% success rate (excluding rare cases.)If you have a active penile yeast infection its simple, eat natural plain yogurt. Yes believe it or not, a yeast infection in men is caused by a lack of bacterium in the body that combats active yeast cells. Thus a over populous of yeast cells the show in the mouth (oral thrush), on the dermis (skin) and, on the penis (penile yeast infection.) If you have a infection start by consuming at least 80oz of natural yogurt weekly (eating more the better) after about 3 weeks or less you will see a regression of the infection. This is the important part, after the infection is gone continue eating 64oz of yogurt per week (this can be any flavor you prefer.) This keeps the bacteria levels in check, as well yogurt helps to keep all aspects of your body in health.

my question is about my prostate/penile yeast infection. i’ve been having symptoms for a while now. and the dr’s say i have a prostate infection. at first i went to the family dr and all the meds they gave me worked for a bit or didnt work at all. so i went to the urologist and he gave me something different which didnt work either. i think i have a prostate infection but have a yeast infection as well which is causing my prostate to not clear up. do u think my problems are related to a yeast infection? and what solutions would be best?

My doc prescribed 500mg of oral Flagyl (Metronidazole) twice a day for 7 days. Flagyl treats trichomoniasis in both men and women, but I didn’t have the symptoms of trichomoniasis - just the sympotons for a male yeast/fungal infection (candidiasis). For more info on Flagyl see: http://www.flagyl.org/
Good Luck!
RD

How much Flagyl where you taking a day??
