Candidas? Nystop not working HELP please

I sure hope someone can help.  My new husband had to go to the doctor because he has been suffering miserably with something like jock itch.  We don't have insurance, so that was money. She diagnosed it as Candidas, and prescribed Nystop.  We've gone through $140 of Nystop powder, and it's not working.  He is miserable and ready to just cut it off.  Never had the issues before marrying me.  But I don't have any symptoms.  He's about to just cut it off, like I said.  lol  Please, anyone out there have a clue?  We sure don't.

Some suggestions for him: when getting out of the shower after drying off use a hair dryer on the low setting to dry the area before applying the powder. He can use Lotrimen four times a day. This condition  is basically a yeast infection. If you two are having sex while he is going through this it is possible that it's spreading back and forth and it could be that you just don't have it enough to notice and he is getting it over and over again. You can either contact your doctor for a diflucan or use and over the counter yeast infection medication. Also tell him if he plays sports or does anything outside that causes perspiration to make sure he keeps the area dry by wearing clothing that's breathable. He may want to use tr hair dryer prior to applying the Lotrimen cream everytime he applies it.

Tell him not to use soaps or shower gels to wash down below.  This is drying.

You can buy over the counter antifungal creams for use on the genitals from the pharmacist or a one done oral capsule called Fluconazole 150mg.

Yeast infections can also happen if the diet is full of sugar or a diabetic person does not control his sugar levels and also through use of antibiotics.
If the body's pH level is not correct, the fungus gets out of hand causing the symptoms called Thrush.

As a home remedy, after washing his genitals in water (no soap) and gently drying, apply natural set yogurt.  This is not just for men.  This will help to calm down and cool the itch and also relieve any inflammation on the skin.  If you have any out of date plain yogurt, that will be fine to be applied to the genital area.  

You can get fungal infections anywhere on the body and also in the mouth.  Daktarin oral gel, or Nystatin oral suspension is used for mouth Thrush.

Applying yogurt to strains and sprains and sunburn also helps.  
You can also buy yogurt that contains the good bacteria to incorporate that into your diets and also capsules that contain the good bacteria.
