male yeast infection? - Sexual Health - Men Message Board

Has anyone every had one before? How can you get rid of it with over the counter medication? I don't have health insurance and can't afford to go to the doctor right now. Here's the story...the wife and I have sex, and the next day she has a yeast infection...a day or two later, so do I. Any help/advice would be great, thanks!

Monistat, or anything like it for women's yeast, will do the trick, for about $16.
She will need it, too.

What symptoms do you have?

hers is taken care of already, her mom paid for her to go to the doctors and they gave her an antibiotic...my symptoms, red/irritated, itchy, a little burning...that's it...I've been using lotion for dry skin and that didn't really do much..I bought monistat after work today and started with that, I'm hoping it works...thanks for the help, both of you...

an antibiotic won't cure a yeast infection, it's a fungus.
