Help Yeast Infection

i was diagnosed with a yeast infection about 4 months ago i tried the cream the doctor subscribed me and avoiding sugar and eating a lot of yogurt because i read that would help. i still have a red area on the bottom of my penis head. Ive also noticed i have clear discharge when i pull my foreskin back over my head, which i just recently been able to pull over my head. i am a male and 16 years old. Im a little worried about this and i was also wondering if it actually was a yeast infection because my doctor didn't look at it to long. please help i would very much appreciate it. and i haven't been sexually active

The yeast is in your body.  The cream is usually only for the external discomfort.  If you still have a yeast infection, you should get treated with an oral pill.  If he didn't look at it long or do testing it could be something else.  There are other types of bacteria that you can get that yeast infection remedies don't take care of.  They aren't harmful and aren't related to having sex.  
You should see a different doctor.  You shouldn't have this problem for 4 months.  It should clear up in about a week.
