What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Yeast Infection?

A few months ago, I thought I had a yeast infection after a few days of having intercourse. It was a high stress time for me, I treated it with an over the counter med. After having intercourse again the same thing happened..this went on a few times. Then I noticed my boyfriend started to leathery skin on his penise. I told him to use a antifungal cream,claims he did but that small tube seemed to last longer than it should. So I refuse to have intercourse without a condom. He went to his dr. She gave him diflucan...a few times now. It improved and she told him to use a protectant skin barrior. Now, it has been a few weeks...and if he doesn t use the protective barrior stuff, he notices his penise is better, but still having dry skin and weeping clear fluid from the folds in his skin.

Hi,
It seems that both partners might be having yeast infection due to spreading through sex and close contacts.
Go both partners require treatment for yeast infection, oral and topical application.
Do not have close contacts or sex till infection control.
Keep local parts clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
