How To Confirm A Yeast Infection?
I recently noticed tiny white bumps on the glans on my penis. it appears a bit wrinkly and maybe even dry as the skin on the bumpy parts looks like it could peel. It is causing me concern because it might be an STD/STI. I have reason to believe it is a yeast infection. I will be going to get it checked on Monday, was hoping I d get some help before going in.

Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your doctor I advice you that if you have to confirm the yeast infection you should go for Gram's Staining from bump. In case of Candida it shows as Gram Positive Yeast cells with pseudo hyphae. All of your treatment paln will change after the proper Gram's Staining.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
