Need to know if this is a yeast infectio

Please help! I have been itchy for a couple of days now, started using a vaginal cream, but it doesn't seem to be working and my boyfriend says he had red sores on his penis which have gone away. Can a yeast infection cause him to have sores???? And how do I get this damn infection away? If it's not a yeast infection, what the hell could it be? It's really VERY uncomfortable.

Yeast infections can causes sores on the penis. If the cream is not working, it may be another type of infection, not a yeast and you will have to see a doctor to make a diagnosis.

A yeast infection very rarely results in physical symptoms in men, apart from maybe a bit of itching. I suggest you see your doc for a pap smear to confirm what the infection is:)
