Hello, after my yeast infection, I think my boyfriend caught it too... he has red patches on his penis since 1 week

Question

we waited 1 week between taking the oral medication and having sex for the first time. he first started using the cream last saturday and there is still no major change. We would like to know what to do since there is no tingling. I would like to know if he can go get the oral medication too? Hello Is it possible for him to take the oral medication?

Hello, ma'am, It is possible that your boyfriend has contracted the yeast infection, although it is much less common than in women. Generally, it is recommended to apply an antifungal cream such as clotrimazole twice a day on the rash until it disappears + 5 to 7 days. If no improvement is noted within a week of starting the treatment or if the symptoms worsen, it would be preferable to consult a physician to confirm the diagnosis before trying any other medication! I hope I have answered your question correctly! We look forward to hearing from you! Hello, it is possible that an oral medication may be prescribed by the doctor following his evaluation. However, I think it is important that the diagnosis be confirmed by the doctor beforehand. Generally, oral medication without a prescription is reserved for a yeast infection in women, and the duration of treatment and the dose may be different for men
