Brief Answer:
yes, both could be yeast
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question
People get yeast a lot in the groin area because it is an area that gets hot and sweaty frequently.
It can be passed form person to person.
The Drez V gel and Tinigyl are both Metronidazole and it is effective for bacterial vaginosis, but not for yeast.
If the doctor though you had bacterial vaginosis instead of yeast then that may be what you have.
Men do not get Bacterial vaginosis so the get would not help him. If he has yeast then you can get an over the counter medicine like monistat and he can use it topically, but if the rash does not resolve he will need to see a doctor.
