Treatment. In some cases, the male yeast infection will clear on its own once the immune system restores order from within the body. However, if left untreated and continues to grow, symptoms worsen and sometimes even spread to other areas such as scrotum and inner thighs. Fortunately, treatments are readily available both in the form of prescription and over the counter creams. Applying them at least twice a day for an average of two weeks will help clear the yeast infections along with its symptoms.
In severe cases, doctors can prescribe a variety of creams. In the case where a yeast infection re-occurs after medication, an individual will continue taking medication under a doctor’s instruction for prolonged periods. Mostly, side effects from the fungus fighting creams are unheard of, but in the case of an allergic reaction, the pharmacist should be in a position to change the medication. Also, hygiene habits and avoiding abrasive skin care products will help tone down the yeast infection and prevent future infections. Avoiding antibiotics helps keep the candida in containable levels.
