Suggest Treatment For Yeast Infection
Hi Im 19 years, im a male, uncircumcized and I have a yeast infection.. Ive had for about 6 months. and I'll admit yes i have been masterbating.. Is that really bad?? My dermotologist prescribed me pills and a cream.. it seems to be going away, I don't show any symptoms but it really itches a whole lot and when I apply the cream it tends to show smptoms but when my penis is erect, my dermotologist also said that if it does not go away that I will need to be circumcized will that cure it or not? i also read on a blog somewhere that applying the monistat on my penis with a few drops of white vinegar will cure over night.. is that also true? what am I doing wrong? would a circumcision be best or not??

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Excess smegma accumulation can cause recurrent yeast infections. You can clean the area with warm saline or just warm water. Avoid soaps and irritants on genital area as it can irritate more. You can apply over the counter clotrimazole creams like monistat. It is an antifungal agent. But if still there is recurrence and difficult in removing smegma then circumcision is a good option. It cures that problem completely.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
