Common Male Yeast Infection Symptoms
A male yeast infection is caused by the same organism that causes vaginal yeast infections in women, oral thrush, and diaper rash – Candida albicans. A male yeast infection shows up as an itching, red rash on the penis. While the infection is occasionally shared among sexual partners, it is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. Your doctor will prescribe a topical cream to use on the infected area, and it should clear up within a week. A Candida rash looks red and flat, with sharp scalloped edges. You may see small pustules around the edges of the rash, the area may itch or burn, and it may be painful. There are usually smaller patches nearby. A rash around the anus may be white or red, and will itch. To learn more about symptoms of yeast infections, please see the following articles:
