Answers:
everybody has yeast on them it's all around us in nature it just can become an overgrowth sometimes and that is when we can get a yeast infection. I sometimes will get one if I am on antibiotics for a long period of time because they kill off the good bacteria too allowing the yeast to take over. The treatment for a yeast infection is the same for guys as it is for girls which is to purchase a cream (now tinactin is for athletes foot and is a different fungus so you want to make sure it says on the bottle that it will cure yeast infection) like canastein (it's in the womens products) go to your doctor first so they can diagnose you and they can write you up a prescription for canastein that way the pharmacist can fill you a generic container of clotimaderm which is cheaper. It takes about a week to clear up........Since your natural flora is out of balance I would recommend as well taking a supplement of acidophilus/bifidus bacteria (which is what makes up yogurt and is naturally in our guts...it'll help repopulate your gut with the good guys). if you like yogurt look for ones that have active cultures in it and eat lots......BioK in the natural food section is the best I've seen but it's expensive.
