My husband has little red bumps and its more red today than it was yesterday. My vagina is red, itches, and burns when its touched and when I pee. We have the same thing, I know but I can't figure out what it may be. I can't go to the doc until monday. We both noticed it at the same time. Is a yeast infection possible among men? Can it be spread through sexual contact?

Scabies is very contagious skin condition that is caused by a mite. The rash is extremely itchy and can be difficult to diagnose. It can affect both humans and animals. Scabies can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or personal hygiene.
Scabies are caused by the mite, Sarcoptes scabiei. Scabies mites are attracted to the warmth and smell of humans. Female mites burrow into the skin, creating small, threadlike tunnels that can sometimes be seen on the skin. The mites lay eggs and leave feces in these tunnels.
Scabies is almost always contracted by close human contact. Although less common, you can get scabies from touching something that the mite is on. It is believed that the mite can survive no longer than 2 days when not in contact with a human.
Keep in mind that there are a number of different mite infections that are not scabies. Your dermatologist should take a biopsy to be sure which infection you might have. Human scabies mites are not sarcopic mange mites that affect animals. Sarcopic mange mites can be carried on humans, but can not burrow into human skin. If your animal has mange mites, they must be treated separately. Learn how to treat an animal for sarcoptic or demodectic mange (demodex).
Scabies symptoms
You may experience severe and continuous itching (especially at night). A good clue that scabies may be the cause is if several members of the same family or close contacts have the same symptoms.
Your skin may show small insect-type bites on it, or the lesions may look like pimples. It may also be red and crusty due to scratching of the area. A burrow (a short S-shaped track that indicates the mite's movement under the skin) may also be visible. Scabies frequently occurs in the cracklike areas of the body such as between the fingers or toes, the buttocks, the elbows, the waist area, the genital area, or under the breasts in women.
Apply Naturasil™ Topical Cream to the entire body to kill and prevent scabies mites from infecting others. Apply BenzaRid® Spray to your bedding, couches, floors, car seats, workplace, and anywhere the mites may be living. Children should not share clothing or other personal articles such as hair brushes, combs or towels with one another.
When an outbreak of scabies or mites is reported be alert for symptoms in members of your family. Keep personal touching and contact with family members and friends at a minimum until the outbreak is cured. Outside of topical treatment for mites, hygiene is the single most important part of your treatment regiment.
Since mites can live off of your body for 4-7 days, it is very important to treat your environment for mites. BenzaRid® Spray will kill the mites anywhere they may live off of your body.

Sounds like gonorrhea. Go to an Urgent Care Facility today. They are open seven days a week. They will prescribe the necessary medicine and make sure it is what I think it is.
Yeast infection is a possibility. Men usually just pass it on but can have symptoms. Either way get it checked out.
Yes, what you are describing is an STD, Sexually Transmitted Disease.

well I would go to the doctor Its probably a sexualy transmited desease because guys can get a yeast infection but you usualy dont know they have it. It doesnt affect guys like it affects girls. If you wasnt cheating then he was and he gave you something. I would throw him out. I hope its something that you can get rid of but it sounds like herpis. YOu cant get rid of that. I would be so mad. THROW HIM OUT!

yes, it is possible that you can pass a yeast infection on, but it doesnt sound like a yeast infection. males dont get little red bumps on their penis, it just gets red.

Oh man... it could be any number of things! if it were me I would use some anti itch cream like vagisil, just to help take the edge off the symptoms until that doctor's appointment.

You could have had a yeast infection starting and didn't notice when you had sex. Yes, they can be affected too.
