Itching penis and testicles

I went to my DR years ago and his intial diagnosis was a yeast infection.  He prescribed to me Nystatin and Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream.  I used it and it seemed to control the itching but never made it go away.  I eventually went to a dermatologist and he presribed to me Cordran Lotion and 200 MG of Fluconazole tablets.  They both seem to control the problem but again, does not make it go away.  Any ideas?

Then you need to follow up with your doc.  Maybe you need to see a dermatologist.

Good luck.

Ohhh sorry.  My bad.  You said yeast, and I assumed female.

Is your itching inside or out?  If its inside, ask for prostate exams and a urine test.  

You should still follow up on this.  You shouldn't have symptoms this long.

Yes.  It takes secretions from the vagina and cervix, and only women have a cervix.

To come to think of it, I have been using ALL free detergent but recently moved and use my roommates detergent which is scented.  

But, yes, I have had this recurring problem since 03.

Oh and you might also think about what you are using for toilet paper, soap, detergent, etc.  If anything is scented, stop using it immediately.

If you aren't wearing 100% cotton undies, you might get some new panties.  You might be having an allergic reaction to something.

If it hasn't gone away in years, you need further testing.

Ask your doc to do an endocervical culture, and see what grows.
