my girlfriend developed a yeast infection a while ago which was spread to me and since which we have stoped having sex and have recieved creams to treat it from a doctor. My yeast infection was clearning up and had been clear for a few days now, but just to be sure iv been continuing to use the cream daily, however when i came to applying the cream recently i had noticed dry white flakey skin or what appears as such on the head of my penis under my foreskin, im worried if this is a result of using the cream too much, or maybe a sign that my thrush is back?
Hello, If you are using a steroid mixed antifungal cream, then you must stop it because then fungus doesn't go away.Another reason could be uncontrolled diabetes and hence get your sugar levels checked. These flakes certainly seem to be fungal infection. Another reason could be that you did unprotected sex which might have lead to re-occurrence of yeast infection. Use plain antifungal cream, keep using it for 15 days more after clearing of lesion, get to blood sugar checked and do protected sex till you get rid of fungus. Thanks
