Have Yeast Infection. Have Been Advised To Apply Cansesten. Is It Safe To Put The Cream Under The Foreskin?

Myself and my partner have a yeast infection which we have been advised to treat with canesten, unfortunately for me because I am living in Norway and I am English the instructions to apply for men are not clear. The question I have is am I safe to put cream under my foreskin? I am uncircumcised but can easily pull my foreskin back and apply cream and then let my foreskin cover my head.

Is this safe to do?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history both of you have yeast or fungal infection, and this is anti fungal agent.
You can apply this medicine after pulling foreskin it is absolutely safe and also necessary to cure your local infection.You can cover the skin.
Please clean the area with mild soap and keep it dry.
It is also important to treat your partner simultaneously otherwise infection may come again.
If you have been prescribed any oral medicine take it along with local application.
Hope this information is useful to you and you recovers soon.
If you have any thing to ask can ask me.
