My fiance & I have never had problems with our chemistry before & have never had any problems down below. One day (8 months ago)we decided to get condoms & try out these climax control trojans we heard about. We had used one condom, found experience bad, so took it off half way through and continued naturally. Well, ever since then about 4-5 days later both her and I were irritated. I went to the derm. about 4 months later & he said it was a candida infection. He rx me hydrocortisone iodiquinol 1%. I have gone through ~3 tubes of it & the redness has never subsided. At the same time my fiance had the cottage cheese like substance & treated with monistat, went away, & we preceeded from there. Well, 4 months ago when I went in for my appt, derm. said that my fiance and I have been "ping-ponging" it back & forth (the infection). So we bought unlubricated condoms and have used that. Great for her, nothing has come back, etc (as far as she knows). However, using the cream t.i.d. for the past month religiously, the redness has not faded at all 4 me. I also notice that after sex, masturbation, or ejaculation, the glans is very red and looks irritated. Well we fell off the boat 2 nights ago & had sex without a condom, & I woke up the next morning & was irritated and very red. She has no itching or redness, but has very little amt of"cottage-cheese like" substances. So do I have a yeast infection, if so why wouldn't it have gone away with the use of the cream for almost 2 months??? Also, I am uncircumsized & before using condoms, we weren't too religious about washing up afterwards. However, we never had a problem with this even when having sex without a condom and not washing after. This entire problem literally began days after using our first condom together, that was the Trojan Climax Control Lubricant condoms. When first got the redness & rash, there were tiny red dots on my glans, but had no elevation to them & dissappeared after few days, but redness, a red ring around the whole of my glans never went away. I've seen pics, showing it look like balanitis, etc. but this is just killing me. Let alone having sex with my fiance is causing irritation & more redness, but even masturbation causes it or touching myself. Right now it is red on the glans, does not itch, no substances, odor, discharge, etc, and the very tip of my foreskin is red & a little on my shaft under my foreskin is red. Is this a yeast infection still, is it irritation, allergic reaction or infection from the condom or what??? Neither her nor I have ever had an STD, but is it an STD??? Basically we are both tired of this and want something done. I also am a soccer player & not so good about changing socks rght away, and I especially sweat alot in my feet. I've always had hard, dead skin on bottom of feet from soccer. Derm said athlete's foot. Could I have spread it from feet to penis glans??? What should I do?! OTC? etc?
