Im 21 years old male and i have a penile yeast infection that i cant get rid of. I’ve had it for 16months now and it reoccurs very often. I got infected through unprotected sex with a female. I started useing canesten 5 months after initial infection and that didnt do anything. Then the doctor gave me ketoderm to apply once for 2-4 weeks and that works but the yeast infection symptoms reoccur around 7+ days after i stop useing it especially red blemishes on the penis head. I have not been on any antibiotics. I have been drinking alcohol on a weekend basis and it seems that can be feeding the infection. I am uncircumcised and i would like some advice on treating this further because its getin to the point where its affecting my mental state and everyday life. Any adivice on diet or other remmedies would be great. thanks
Thank you everyone for the feedback, its amazing how fast you all replyed. After first sign of symptoms about 5months after intercourse I had a bloodtest taken for STDs and they didnt get back to me so im guessin i dont have genitial herpes. I spoke with the female i had sex with after my first symptoms and she had been to the doctor and was diagonosed with a yeast infection. My doctor however never did any tests im guessing assumed it was one according to my symptoms and my story. I havnt had sex since and im dying to cure this dam yeast infection! I will try some of these methods and i hope it works! THank you all I will let you know my outcome soon

if you really want to get rid of yeast infection then you must follow these tips:
1) Eat yogurt!!!! It contains helpful bacteria (live cultures, including acidophilus and bifidus) that destroy yeast. Use only plain yogurt with active cultures.
2) Douche with a solution of 1 to 3 tbsp. vinegar in a quart of water. Repeat once a day while having symptoms, but no longer than a week.
3) Decrease or eliminate sugar and sugary foods. Sugar promotes yeast growth.
4) Use a garlic clove as a suppository. Garlic contains a natural anti-fungal agent.
5) Try gentian violet. It’s a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections, and can be found in pharmacies. Swab the area with it once or twice a day. Make sure to use a thick pad - it stains everything.
6) Use an herbal douche. Combine equal amounts of sage, raspberry and comfrey with 1/4 part goldenseal. This can be combined with cider vinegar.
7) You must use herbal treatment. In that case Yeastrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of yeast infection comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that it wont reappear again!
And of course it is better if you use full course (5 months - if I remember correctly). For me it worked very fast + I dont get yeast infections anymore…
I do not know if any pharmacies carry Yeastrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.mybeautynhealth.com/product/overview/Yeastrol/
good luck!

See a doctor. Don’t have sex.
drink wine instead of beer but that’s got nothin to do with it
I don’t think you’re dealing with a yeast infection anymore. Get a second opinion and get it soon.
Meanwhile stay out of strange vaginas until you’re married will you please.
The best way is to do it naturally without any anti fungals which are hard on your liver.
Trust me. Don’t use any soap there when you shower. Don’t even rub there. Use a low setting on the blow dryer to dry there. Not hot. Wear no underwear or boxers(white cotton). Dust lightly with baking soda before bed. Sleep with the covers not covering your butt.
Take acidophilous tablets daily and cut sugar intake. Don’t eat any breads or anything with yeast in it( esp. like Hot Pockets or pizza) and eat yogurts if you like them. You might be surprised what all has yeast in it!
If it isn’t gone in a month, see a doctor and get some diflucan.
My doctor prescribed Nystatin cream. Worked like a charm.
From one man to another. First of all you need a clarification on your disease as to whether it is a yeast infection or Genital Herpes. A yeast infection can be cured whereas GH can not be but can be controlled. If a yeast infection you can also try some alternative procedures that actually work. You will need buttermilk or plain Yogurt, whichever is the cheapest. Take off all clothing from waist down and either get into a bathtub or lay on top of a plastic sheet. Smear the Yogurt or buttermilk all over your crotch and gently massage it into your skin. Make sure you pull the foreskin back so it can be massaged into the head of your penis and foreskin. Take a shower and pat areas dry and apply regular medicine MD prescribed for you..
