Balanitis, yeast infection, lichen planus or dermatitis?

Posted , 2 users are following.

hello there,

is this tread still opened? i have been suffering of what i'm pretty sure it is balanitis. It started after i have oral sex without condom. for the first 3 months right after sex i had pain in all the moucus membranes of the mouth, penis and anus, i tested for all the possible std including mycoplasma and euresplasma and all is clear.

after this initial period of of having all moucus membrane + pain in the mouth penis with papules and anus i got better, pain has gone and i only have an irritation on my foreskin which does not go away.

i suspected having lichen planus but recently the dictors told me i might have yest infection. so i'm wondering if a yest infection can be sexually aquired and can it give thise symptoms? Also i found some pics online of penile dermatitis that look lime my foreskin and i heard it could be stress releated. It has bern imagealmost a year that im trying understand. can anyone help? thanks

    yes yeast can be passed on by having sex it can effect men but women usually catch it the most sometimes yeast is caused after a course of antibiotics because they kill off all bad bacteria in the gut and all the good bacteria which can lead to an inbalance balanitis is ofter caused by yeast infection
