Does White Film And Itching On Penile Head Indicate Yeast Infection?
Hello, I recently had a yeast infection and now a bacterial infection( I think). My boyfriend is experiencing a white film on the head of his penis and mild itching. He is uncircumcised. Could he have a yeast infection? How would we treat. Over the counter?

Hello, Welcome to HCM,
Balanitis can be recurrent specially if both the partners are not treated simultaneously. Itching is subjective and may be absent.Does your partner suffer from vaginal discharge or Vulval itching.
I would suggest that you use a topical antifungal e.g clotrin-B cream twice daily for 7 days and that should be enough.

Itching is subjective and may be absent.Does your partner suffer from vaginal discharge or Vulval itching. I would suggest that you use a topical antifungal e.g clotrin-B cream twice daily for 7 days and that should be enough. A single dose of an oral antifungal e.g fluconazole 150 mg is also curative. I would suggest you to avoid using soaps altogether for cleaning the delicate genital skin. Use plain water rather. Thank You.
