Redness In Groin Folds, Sour Milk Smell. Wife Developing Yeast Infection After Sex. Suggestions?
I'm a 41 yr old Caucasian male, 6ft, 195lbs. I have had an ongoing battle with what ive assumed to be jock itch for the last two years. Redness in the groin folds between scrotum and thigh, sour milk smell and feels hot. After months of different anti fungal creams, I have been using rubbing alcohol twice per day. Redness is gone, but problem remains. Wife believes she develops a yeast infection very quickly after intercourse.

Hi,
From history it appears that you might be having yeast infection on the part.
Along with local anti-fungal cream take oral anti-fungal tablet like Flucanozole 150 mg once in a week for four weeks.
Give treatment your wife as well.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for itching.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
