Can The Yeast Infection Become Systemic?
I am male and have an active yeast infection (jock itch). I decided it would help if I shaved my pubic hairs. As I was shaving, I nicked myself in 2 places. The nicks bleed, but not bad or for very long. I applied nystatin cream on the area, including nicks, when I got out of the shower. I am also taking oral medication (terbinafine). Should I be concerned with the infection become systemic?

Hello,
If you have a systemic fungal infection then fever might be present. You will mostly have a topical fungal infection. For that, you can apply topical clotrimazole cream over that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
