No, it is a fungal infection. Go to the local drug store and ask your pharmacist for an over the counter anti-fungal cream. Tinactin is one. Use it the way it is prescribed and you will be fine. However, if you have a weakened immune system you may be more prone to this and develop a reoccurring infection. Be sure to follow all directions.

not if you get medication to unitch yourself. There is OTC (over the counter) meds you can purchase. Also, if the meds don't help, and you have been sexually active, you may also have a yeast infection(yes guys get them too) and if untreated, you will just pass it back and forth.
