**Me:** 35  Male, Caucasian, 5'11" 455 pounds non smoker *never smoked* Non drinker, Never done any drugs. but otc and what Dr's given me. I am germaphobic, shower with antibacterial soap at least once sometimes twice a day. I have never eaten or drank after anyone if anyone got sick I stayed away from them. 

I had a 2 night stand 15 months ago was my first time didn't use a condom didn't care anymore at the time huge bout of depression got drunk (first time drinking at that) got a motel had sex lost virginity age 34 yada yada. Now I been fighting this stuff ever since. 

**Dr.'s I been to:** 

* STD clinic DR *(Said it looked like swollen papules under my penis and the symptoms sounded like and resembled yeast infection)*

* Dermatologist

* A regular internal medicine Dr *(Been to 5 of them, all the same results)*

* Urologist *(Urologist did nothing not even examine me.)*

* Disease infectious Dr *(Which was calling me a liar and wouldn't listen to me and really was no help.)*

* Took me 6 months from time I contracted this stuff to even find a regular Dr. who would look at me and listen to me. I been tested for every std test at least 6 times all came back clean. 

**Symptoms:** 

* Purple/black bumps on Testicles with no pain, but swelling of testicles and a red bump on testicles.

* Itching 

* discharge time to time, mostly it is less than a drop sometimes it is like a couple ear droplets at least once sometimes 3 times a day.

* I had a fishy odor *(fishy odor which is now gone)*

 

* Swelling on penis and becomes extremely sore to touch after going pee or masturbating. 

* I also get this swelling on my tongue and get this white patchy stuff on my tongue and it gets dry and nasty tasting. *All the white stuff on my tongue in the middle and back would show up not long after brushing.* 

* The roof my mouth throbs really bad to the point it is like its on fire sometimes and it is purple and I would get red marks that change constantly on the roof my mouth.  

*not sure if this helps or counts but if I eat like anything sugary or salty like bread with mayo or mustard or eat boiled eggs add salt my mouth and tongue burn and starts to throb even more*

**Treatments:** 

* TERBINAFINE HCL 250 MG aka lamisil pills 1x day for 10 days

* ITRACONAZOLE 100 MG aka sporonox 1x  a day for 10 days, (I am allergic to these)

* NYSTATIN 100,000 UNITS/GM Oral Suspension 4x a day

* NYSTOP 100,000 UNITS/GM POWDER (never helped)

* FLUCONAZOLE 200 MG TABLET aka diflucan 1x day for 3 weeks

* TRIAMCINOLONE 0.1% CREAM aka steroid cream apply 2x a day on tongue and below

* NITROFURANTOIN MONO-MCR 100 MG aka antibiotic for uti 2x a day for a week

**What happened with treatments:** 

I was seeing signs of it clearing up, kind of drying out with the Fluconazole, 1x a day for 3 weeks, But I couldn't take anymore due to risk of kidney/liver damage. 

I was allergic to the sporonox and would break out in hives and itching all over.

The Nystop powder would help with itching down below but nothing else.

The rest of the medications did nothing.

    Hello, I am on my way to become a urologist and I've had the same issues as you before. When your mouth gets all white like that is a very common sign of a yeast infection I also had the discharge and smell. From what I learned is that these problems don't always resolve themselves on its own so keep up on the antibiotics. Don't listen to them talk about circumcision because I had the same issue and got circumcised and still had the issue. Lots of money and pain went into that procedure. Not to mention how little I feel during sex now as compared to with my foreskin. You need to keep your glans(head of the penis) and the foreskin dry. When you take a shower just make sure you dry it off very well, but dont use anything that harbors bacteria like a towel- anything that'll leave particles behind. My recommendation would be to let it air dry. As for shower time DO NOT USE SOAP. We have naturally occurring flora of bacteria(symbiotic relationship) in every oriface to kill this type of bacteria, but using soap removes both good and bad bacteria and leave a you open to opportune infections. So shower and use water and a finger to gently rub the surface of the glans and the foreskin- no soap. Also, the discharge could be result of an urinary tract infection so drink tons of water and take cranberry pills or cranberry juice. Pee every time you feel the need to and empty fully otherwise you are keeping the bacteria in your body. As for sex/masturbation do not use saliva as a a lubricant. You have the infection in your mouth so you'd just be putting more and more bacteria in your genitals.for your mouth use alchohol after you brush and try to brush 3x daily to help with this. I'd do that for 2 weeks after the issue is resolved. Go get vitamin C and take lots of it daily and don't drink alchohol. It'll just dehydrate you and put more strain on your body. Feel free to ask questions

      I am circumcised already. And I have to use soap or I will smell like fish down there. I also don't use saliva as lube, I don't even use lube when I masturbate. and I am taking 3, 1000 MG vitamin C a day every day and have been for the past 5 years.

    Circumcised or not you should not use soap on your penis. It's the same tissue that's inside of your mouth, in your eyelids etc. It not only scrubs good bacteria away but it also dries the mucosa up and leaves you open to infection as it leaves wounds when it dries. The smell may be a result of the soap, when it dries up it has to rehydrate itself someway and possibky sheds the outer layer of skin and it sits there until your body fully removes it.

      the soap is antibacterial soap, it doesn't leave an odor. the odor happens a day or two of not showering.

    Right, the antibacterial soap can cause this to make your body react in such a way That your body makes an overabundance of skin shedding and oils that rehydrate the skin. Shower daily and cut the soap down and just rub the surface with your fingers under running water. Keep up on your meds, your vitamins and see what it does in two weeks
