Male Yeast Infection ???? Posted: 06-14-07 20:25pm
So on friday i had a few bumps along my
beltline and inside my groin, and a bit
under my arm, nothing major... dr said it
was probably heat rash... so i treated it
as so, over the weekend it severley
worsened.... so i went back on mon and he
said maybe folliculitis, but wasnt sure,
the rash was bizarre.... so my HMO doesnt
cover here and said go to the hospital,
the doc wasnt sure, gave me scabies
treatment just in case.... then my HMO
says come to town and get checked.... 2
docs didnt know, sent me to a
dermatologist... checked it for mites not
that, took a biopsy, but not sure what it
is yet so he gave me topical steroid, oral
steroid, and an antibiotic.... but i am
wondering if maybei have a masssive yeast
infection, it is behind my knees, in my
arm pits, and along my belt line and
groin, MAJOR, i mean the bumps are almost
on top of each other now, and i dried out
my skin with extra showers so its even
worse... and there a re a few along my
belly my sides... none on my back, and a
few on my hands and wrist....
it has been lately secreting some kind of
liquid that dries and becomes sticky, in
my white shirt it left a yellow color on
the armpit, and all the areas do it, it is
just especially in the heavily papulated
areas...... i know i can wait on the
biopsy, but if it is yeast, then wont
steroids hurt me more than help me?????
PLEASE HELP... its been 6 days, and its
horrible, my sis said she wouldnt wish it
on her worst enemy adn got chills thinking
aobut it, and this is the same girl who
when i cut my face to the skull, she was
in there watchin it and watching the
stitches go in....

Note: you can buy over the counter stuff
for it too, or ask dr for script! It dose
cause rash on men!
Read below.
Can men suffer from Candida Infection?
Yes. Men are as susceptible to yeast
infection as women. Candidiasis symptoms
in men may not be as conspicuous as in
women, but candidiasis is equally
prevalent in both sexes. Candida
overgrowth will begin in the
gastro-intestinal tract, and will
frequently expand to other organs,
including the upper respiratory system,
the skin, the groin, the prostate and the
penis, although many times the infection
of the man's sexual organs will remain
asymptomatic. Balanitis is an infection of
the penis caused by candida, some of its
symptoms are itching, burning sensation
after intercourse, redness, rashes and
soreness.
Jock itch, a common problem, is many times
due to candida, especially in those cases
where nothing produces results. This is
because the candida from the intestinal
tract will continue to reinfect the groin,
no matter how effective the local
treatment may be.
