What is the best treatment for a male pediatric yeast infection?

Question

If the child is uncircumsised?

Answer 1

The same as for a girl. Prescription cream. Then use vagasile or some other yeast cream once a week or so. If the child is uncircumcised you need to be sure you are cleaning him well at each diaper change. Be sure you push the foreskin down completely and clean thoroughly.

The yeast has a tendency to grow because of the dampness caused by the foreskin. Complete dryness of the area is impossible. It can then spread up and down the childs private area.

Please get this taken care of. A child's yeast infection is just as painful as an adult infection.

Answer 2

I worked in a daycare with 2-3 year olds and we had a male with a yeast infection. His mother bought some monistat and we applied it topically across the scrotal and anal area for about a week. To my experience, the foreskin didn't make a difference.

Answer 4

Check with your pediatrician. You may need to find out if it is systemic or just on the skin. If it's just on the skin, you'll probably need a miconozole cream (think, Lotrimin). If it's systemic he may need something like Nystatin (prescription only).
