Toddler Yeast Infection?

My intact toddler son has been been complaining about a sore penis. It is swollen at the base on one side and there is clumpy white discharge coming from the tip on his penis... is this a yeast infection? If so does anyone know of any home remedies until we can get him to the doctor tomorrow? Thanks!

Clumpy discharge sounds like normal smegma?

A yeast rash would have little dots around the rash about the size of the head of a straight pin.

Home remedies include 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water OR 1 part lemon juice to 12 parts water OR unsweetened plain yogurt. Grapefruit seed extract is more effective but you probably don't have it.

smegma

A natural secretion of skin cells and oils that collects under the foreskin in both males and females. If allowed to grow stale, it may have a pungent aroma (commonly compared to cheese [males] or fish [females]), and has lubricant, pheromonal (sexual attractant) and perhaps bacteriostatic (bacteria-killing) functions. The quantity varies, but it is comparable to earwax. (In one survey, three out of 18 self-selected intact men never saw smegma; one saw it after a week unwashed; six after two days; eight after one day; and one after less than a day. Three out of seven circumcised men reported seeing smegma.) (Gk. = soap)

symptoms

it's tricky to tell when men have yeast infections, because they can have a penile yeast infection without having symptoms. when they do have symptoms, it can be really awful; i was once told by an infected man that he "wished it would just fall right off." here are some signs of the dreaded penile yeast infection:

- the most common symptom is irritation and soreness of the head of the penis. apparently it can itch like crazy, too.

- yeah, men can get a discharge, including that clumpy nasty white stuff. also, the head of the penis may turn reddish or get little blistery things.

- i haven't heard of it smelling like anything, but if you can smell yeast, you better bet you should get your boy some treatment.

according to the emails i get, the symptoms can be perilously close to those of genital herpes: little red itchy bumps are not uncommon with penile yeast infections. if you aren't absolutely certain, go see a doctor for testing and diagnosis.

Signs and symptoms of a male yeast infection include a reddish rash, itching or burning at the tip of the penis. Fortunately, most male yeast infections are easily treated with an over-the-counter antifungal treatment, such as Monistat (yes, men can use it too). Apply the medication directly to the affected skin twice daily for a week. If the rash doesn't go away, or if it recurs frequently, consult your doctor.

yes what you can do let it air dryer basic it needs to stay dry that's the best thing for it more or less it ain't yeast infection if that don't help go to the Doctor

keep it clean with cooled freshly boiled water and cotton wool do not use soap as this may make it worse and you could maybe try a little sudocrem if you have any to cool it down for the little chap
