I recently developed a rash that is
exactly like jock itch in appearence and
symptoms (raw, red itchy skin) but it is
not in the traditional jock itch
areas--some is at base of the penis, some
on the scrotum and some on the penis
itself. Supposedly jock itch doesn't
affect the penis, and tinactin hasn't been
effective. Anybody got a handle on what
this could be? Contagious?

i am not a doctor or anything but I think
I had the same kind of problem with red
itchy skin at the base of the penis,
scrotum and my doctor told me that what I
had did not look like it was contagious
and it could be just from rubbing it or
some kind of irritation. But just to be
sure you should talk to your doctor.

It might be groin psoriasis.

Does This Decribe Your Problem? Posted: 09-08-06 04:50am
Male yeast infection
this ain't gonna be a pretty subject,
because the male yeast infection affects a
very unique part of the male anatomy.
It's also called candida balanitis, which
literally means inflammation of the glans
penis, and the glans is the vascular body
at the apex of the penis.
Diagnosis needs to be made by a very
experienced clinician, because there are
other sexually transmitted diseases to
differentiate it from, and it can mimic
other conditions.
This is more likely to happen if you have
phimosis, which means the prepuce
(foreskin) can't be drawn back to uncover
the glans. If you've had a circumcision,
it's much less likely you'll get a yeast
infection.
The treatment doesn't involve drugs- you
have to keep your glans clean and dry,
rather than applying medication.
Intercourse should be avoided in acute
attacks because moisture and trauma make
the male yeast infection worse.
Some men find that the morning after sex,
their glans is inflamed. This may occur
because of moisture under the foreskin
overnight rather transmission of bacteria,
fungus, or viruses. Wash and dry the
glans after intercourse and oral sex.
Always retract your foreskin during
urination.
If you can't get rid of the yeast
infection by keeping it clean and dry,
you'll need a circumcision. No biggie- in
the bible, the jews did that before a big
battle and they won big time.
Yeast infections can be helped with pro
biotic capsuals.

My husband has the same thing as you, we
are not sure that it is a yeast infaction.
But we are going to the doctors to find
out.
He has suffered with this problem for
about 3 and a half years and we just keep
getting told that it is just a fungle
infection & he gets creams which make
it worse.
