I think I have a yeast infection on my penis.  It seems to match the pics I've seen. Some redness, sensitivity, flaking, etc.  I went to the doc a couple weeks ago when I first noticed and he said it wasn't herpes or anything like that.  He said it looks a little like a fungus.  So I'm thinking a yeast infection.  I recently read that men can get yeast infection from women.
So any idea of what to use on it?  Creams maybe?

Seriously, get tested for std's mainly Trich, Chlam and Gonn'hea.

I know you probably think your previous partners are all perfect but.... it is highly rare for a guy to get a yeast infection and many issues can no symptoms.

Do yourself a favor and get checked out.

I've heard that it works wonders for the gals.

Only problem is it might sting a bit when you dip it in.

(note:  not a real doctor, just play one on boards sometimes.)

Why does it hurt when I pee?

I got it from the toilet seat

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

did you get a bj while your provider was eating cookie dough? does it have a fishy  smell?

Your doctor "looked at it?"  If this is on the up and up (pun!), which I doubt, go to a community clinic or Planned Parenthood. Get tested for exactly what Lisa Butler suggests.  

Believe it or not, men can get a yeast infection by themselves too.  I don't think it's yeast, because yeast infections itch like crazy, and they don't stop.  They keep you up at night.  They don't hurt unless you scratch them raw. You didn't mention ichiness.

Did you even ask your doctor how you treat a yeast infection?  Go to the store, get some athletes foot medicine.  Tinactin, Lotrimine, and/or Lamasil.  Any of them should work, but if you splurge and buy all three, you should notice immediate improvement, and in three days that fungi will be sorry it ever tried to eat your w** w**.  

If it doesn't help, swallow your embarrassment, be a man, and get your f*cking w** w** to a clinic.

LOL Cranberry juice can be effective in the treatment and prevention of a UTI for both men and women. There is a natural enzyme in cranberry juice that clings to the lining of the ureters and urethra, causing bacteria to be flushed away during urination.

However, it has no effect on a yeast infection, since a yeast infection does not affect the urinary tract. Yeast infections are generally caused when the natural balance between the naturally ocurring bacteria and yeast (they work to keep one another in check) is upset.

A carton of yogurt a day can be an effective preventative against developing a yeast infection, as long as it contains "live active cultures". In fact, many women habitually eat yogurt daily anytime they have to take an antibiotic, since yeast infections are a common event following a course of antibiotic therapy. I have no information on whether yogurt would be equally as effective for a man, but it certainly couldn't hurt.

The wiser course though, would be to follow up with a medical professional for advice on how to treat the infection.

.... I would just lop a little off.  Even though I did this a few times, I still died with a bigger wee wee than most of the weinies here.

Yeah let me clarify.  I went to the doc, got tested for stds.  Everything they tested for came back negative.  Doc said it may possibly be a yeast infection and try some otc stuff IF it continues to bother me.   That's why I posted.  I was asking if someone had good/bad experiences with what's available.  I don't jusp apply anything to my precious wee-wee.

Why should I do that?   You think another Doc will send the samples to a different lab?  You think my Doc is lying to me?   It's very unlikely there would be different test results just from going to a different doctor.
