How To Apply Vagisil On Penis For Yeast Infection?

I am a male, and I have a penile yeast infection. I have tried using Vagisil for the past two days, but it doesn't seem like it's working. It helps with itching, but I've noticed some swelling and it's very sensitive and painful in some areas of my head. I'm not circumcised either, so I was wondering, when applying the cream/ointment, am I supposed to leave my foreskin pulled back, or is it okay to pull the skin back over the head? Also, how soon will it get better? I've had it since Christmas day.

Hi,

Before using it, you should wash and clean your genitalia well, then pull the kin of the head back and try to apply the cream inside.

If swelling is noticed, you should need to start other oral therapy and be further evaluated by an urologist.

At the end, I'd advise to schedule your circumcision with the urologist.

All the best!
