Your skin just might be sensitive right now. Give it a little time and if it lingers, see your doctor.

Cheers Vance.
I havn't used the cream for around 6 weeks though. I'm guessing it is probably a reaction to the condoms - although Ive nver had that before so I find that strange.
Cremes can often cause the skin to become red or have a different feeling because they are healing the infection.
It sounds like you maybe haveing a reaction to the condom or maybe it is a combination of the creme with the condom.
OK time for an update!
I had a sexual health test that came back all clear, and after taking canestan oral (the tablet) and using the cream for two weeks. It cleared up and hasnt come back (touch wood!).
The thing is that the membrane under the foreskin looks a lot redder than it was before - and "thinner". It doesnt hurt at all, theres no cuts or anything.
I stopped using the Canestan cream about 6 weeks ago, and have only been washing with a gental shower cream.
Theres definatly a difference. Is this normal from using anti-fungal creams?
Also Ive been using condoms for a while and it seems to flare up again around 2 or 3 days afterwards. Am I having a reaction to the condoms maybe?
Thanks AJ,
I've never had anything like this happen before so it is a bit worrying. I will try and get a GP appointment though .
thanks again. Any over views?
I think you are right - its some kind of fungal infection, and the timing might be coincidental or your gf has some yeast.
You should see your doctor to confirm this, but I don't see anything that sounds like an std.
