Could Yeast Infection From The Partner During Sex Cause Red Scrotum?
Have head read scrotum and shaft and head for nearly a month. Dr. prescribed clotrimazole. My girlfriend had a yeast infection the week my symptoms began. We both had been tested recently and she cannot get pregnant, so we did not use protection. Could a yeast infection last this long?

Hi,
Yeast infection can be transmitted through close contacts.
Both partners should be treated with oral and local antifungal medicine and cream.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
