Can Men Get Yeast Infections? Yes; Here’s What to Know

Many men don’t realize they can get yeast infections, too. Though more common in women, male candidiasis happens, especially in Lagos’ heat and humidity.

Signs of Male Yeast Infection:

  • Itching or burning around the penis
  • Red rash or white patches
  • Moist, sore skin under the foreskin
  • Pain during urination or sex

Causes:

  • Excess sweat and tight underwear
  • Poor hygiene
  • Diabetes
  • Sexual contact with an infected partner
  • Excessive use of antibiotics

  • Antifungal creams or tablets
  • Keeping the area dry and clean
  • Treating your partner too (to avoid reinfection)
