i think my b.f may have it. had it once before but it wasnt very bad and it went away itself. it was beginning to go away until we had sex a couple of times which i think may have aggravated it. its hard to discuss cos hes sensitive to talking about it so i was hoping i could find an over the counter treatment for it to save him the embarrassing doctors visit!!!Are there any over the counter creams/medications for men with thrush??
You can use the cream females use.Are there any over the counter creams/medications for men with thrush??
I am sorry to say that I am not sure what to tell you. I feel that I am suffering from something similar. My last GF gave me HPV and I am one of those rare people who needs recurrent therapy (just my luck). Toward the end of our relatioship, a new problem arose that I am not sure is related to the HPV or not. This problem led to a sudden decrease in intercourse, which undoubtedly contributed to the relationship failing.
This new problem is that I get skin irritation in patches on my penis. The areas are red, slightly Itchy and mildly flake after a day or two. These areas basically look like a bad sunburn and peel similarly. Before the relationship ended, we initially thought it was from rougher sex, but I sometimes notice that my penis burns a little when penentrated in her vagina. We laid off of sex for a bit and I used Aquaphor to heal things. That seemed to work. After trying sex again, I noticed the same sensations. I have also tried hydrocortisone thinking that it may be an allergic reaction to her or one of her latex toys. We did not use condoms, so I am not really sure if this could be a latex allergy (to her toys) or not.
Now that we are no longer together and I am single, I really have no idea what can be causing this reaction. I do not use harsh soaps or detergents. When I am alone, I use Lubriderm--fairly mild, but I am still having the same reactions.
What can this be? What can be done? Any other advice would be appreciated. Thank you
stuff for jock itch. thrush is a fungus. if you look at the drugs in yeast infection medicine, its like the same for jock itch stuff.
Canestan.
Canestan Duo (Tablet and cream)
Thrush is caused by a fungus (candida), and is therefore treated with antifungal drugs. Treatments are available as:
Pessaries to be inserted into the vagina
Creams to be put on the vulva and/or into the vagina
Capsules to be swallowed
Treatments can be bought over the counter at a chemist, but they may be cheaper (or free) if you get them by prescription. Pessaries and creams work directly at the site of infection 鈥?in the vagina and on the outer lips of the vagina.
Pessaries are bullet-shaped tablets that can be either hard or waxy. They need to be pushed high into your vagina with your finger or an applicator.
There are two types of creams used to treat thrush: vaginal and vulval. Vaginal creams work internally and, like pessaries, are inserted into the vagina using an applicator. Vulval creams are usually used with an internal treatment, to help soothe and treat itching outside the vagina.
Pessaries and creams can be messy 鈥?they melt and leak out into your pants 鈥?so it鈥檚 best to insert them at night just before you go to bed. You may also want to use a panty liner, as some treatments are coloured and can stain.
Echinacea is an immune system boosting herb. Consider having him add this herb to his diet.
Since most fungal skin infections are surface infections, antifungal treatments are usually applied directly to the skin in the infected area (topical treatments).
There are a variety of treatments available in the form of creams, lotions and medicated powders. If the rash covers quite a large area of skin, or affects the nails or scalp, then tablets may be required.
Some treatments are available over-the-counter from a pharmacist, without a prescription. For example, sprays are available for treating athletes foot. Ask your pharmacist for advice.
Stronger forms of topical treatments and antifungals in tablet form are only available on prescription. You may also be prescribed antifungal shampoo for scalp infections.
These treatments are usually effective. Like any drug, they can occasionally cause side effects. These may include skin irritation or an upset stomach. It isn't unusual for the rash to return, even when it seems to have been treated. The treatment may need to be used for at least four weeks to prevent the infection from coming back.
If you are buying an over-the-counter antifungal treatment, you need to be sure that you have a fungal infection. You may recognise the rash from a previously diagnosed fungal infection. But if there's any doubt about your diagnosis, or if over-the-counter treatments don't work, then you should seek advice from your GP.

Are there any over the counter creams/medications that will treat BV?
No - You will need a doctors prescription for an antibiotic to treat BV-
Yeast infection medication you can buy otc but there are none for BV.
They usually prescribe Metro-gel which you insert once or twice a day for about 5 days.Are there any over the counter creams/medications that will treat BV?
no! you need antibiotics from your dr. its just a quick round of antibiotics. however, there are creams and treatments that can help with discomfortAre there any over the counter creams/medications that will treat BV?
You need the right antibiotic,metro gel doesn't work for every body.
The best thing to do is use natural remedies. Antibiotics won't work. I found a blog that explained some remedies you can use to permanently cure BV.
I'll leave a link to the blog below.
hope this helps...

If everything you eat, and all types of creams, lotions etc affect your medication, What can you do?
I am on anticoagulant, and every thing affects the medication I take. If my INR is high I have to take less, and if its low I have to take more. Its always in a spin, and I cant just eat anything I want and cant use any creams, lotions etc. I am not even allowed to exercise to get my heart rate up due to steno sis of the aorta valve.If everything you eat, and all types of creams, lotions etc affect your medication, What can you do?
I think you've misunderstood what you've been told. Either that or the person that told you is uneducated.
Only foods containing Vitamin K affect INR levels. Topical lotions/creams do not. Some herbs do interact with warfarin. Many drugs also interfere with INR.
I frequently prescribe warfarin to patients after surgery. A pharmacist always tells them about what he/she can eat.
On return visit, not one has complained about not being able to eat a good diet or use topical creams, etc.

Are there any medications (creams, pills, etc.) to stop a person from sweating (or limit the amount)?
A very effective antiperspirant is Drysol, it is applied the night before and is very successful at preventing sweating for the next day, it should be used everyday at first then slowly start to lower the number of times it is used weekly, until eventually you will only have to use it once or twice a month.
Drysol is available at most pharmacies, possibly a prescription needed, but likely just over the counter.Are there any medications (creams, pills, etc.) to stop a person from sweating (or limit the amount)?
In addition to drysol, here are some other more natural methods to consider:
1. Drink more water - the more cold water you drink, the more you will be helping your body to regulate it's own body temperature, thus the less you will sweat.
2. Stop drinking coffee - coffee is loaded with caffeine and sugar, both of which are stimulants which increase anxiety and thus sweating.
3. Use sweat pads - Sweat pads are a great alternative to wearing extra layers or sweaters...you can find them online...they are adhesive absorbent pads that you can stick to the insides of your shirts so that they absorb your sweat.
4. Quit Smoking - Smoking causes vasodilation(enlarges blood vessels) which results in more blood flow, which means an increase in body temperature which means increased sweating!
5. Charcoal - Believe it or not, eating charcoal on an empty stomach can help reduce sweating in as little as two days, for best results take it on an empty stomach.
6. Sage Tea - This one is killer! Take a tablespoon of sage leaves and steep it in a cup of boiled water for less than 10 minuets. Strain the leaves , add a slice of lime to the tea and drink it. Don't brew longer than 10 min though, it can be toxic if over brewed!
7. Wheat Grass - This is another great solution, try looking for it online. Drink a glass of this a day.
8. Spicy Foods - Spicy foods stimulate your sympathetic nervous system which is responsible for triggering your sweat glands to sweat. Cut back on the spicy foods and you cut back on the sweating.
9. Potatoes - Potatoes are a natural way for you to stop excessive sweating. Simply cut one open and rub the inside of it on your underarms, don't ask how, but it works!
10. Alcohol - Alcohol tends to dilate your blood vessels and in so doing, increases your overall body temperature. An increase in body temperature means an increase in sweating, so watch your alcohol intake.
Try doing a few of these techniques all at once for the best results, there are more tactics to try out at the link below..
good luck,
-RenardAre there any medications (creams, pills, etc.) to stop a person from sweating (or limit the amount)?
Just a quick question, why do you need to stop sweating? If it is too severe, what is the underlying cause? Try to figure out what makes you sweat, physical exertion, stress, certain foods, too hot environment? Your answer might be in those causes, not in a pill.
I think there is some kind of injection you can get from a dermatologist. Botox in the underarms or something. Celebrities do it before they hit the red carpet. Saw it on Entertainment Tonight.
An adverse side effect of the anti IBS prescription bentyl is lack of sweat.
Yes, there are. The problem is that there only about 50 million to 100 billion of them.amc theatre

Any creams/medications to remove the scar of a rejected navel/belly button piercing?
I got the navel piercing in February, and about 4 and a half months later i realized that my body was rejecting it, so i removed the ring and now the piercing has closed and has left me with a scar. Are there any creams/medications I could use to remove this scar?
Please help me, no stupid answers.Any creams/medications to remove the scar of a rejected navel/belly button piercing?
Aloe Vera or Vitamin E oil are good for this. It's all natural and available at drugstores for only a few dollars.Any creams/medications to remove the scar of a rejected navel/belly button piercing?
Hello I am Dr. Melanie Jessica we get those problems all the time. First put alchol on the scar and then by an over the counter medication it is called isederma gel, which uses a scentless onion extract, can help get rid of scars. Usually Mederma is used to treat acne scars, which is why the company has focused its marketing campaign on youth. But, over a period of time鈥攗sually several months鈥攕cars that are massaged with Belly button ring scar treatment gel will begin to fade. And thank god for that, because high school is excruciating enough without being taunted by other kids and adults with pierced navels.
I searched ';scar cream'; on Yahoo and this one was 1st. The site looked cool and helpful. Best of luck with saying buh bye to your scar.
The Solution To Scars and Scar Treatment
tru-derm Scar Cream softens, smoothes and flattens all types of scars, including scars from healed lacerations, stretch marks, acne scars, hypertrophic and keloidal scars, burns and even insect bites.
tru-derm Scar Cream also dramatically improves the appearance of healthy skin.
tru-derm Scar Cream can be used on all types of skin to improve and soften the appearance of scars. It can be an effective and affordable alternative to dermabrasion or steroid injections, and can be obtained without a prescription.
tru-derm Scar Cream with SPF10 can also be effective in relieving itching and tingling associated with healing scars, and may be used to provide minimal protection from the sun's damaging rays.
Vitamin E oil will help. You need to massage it into the tissue. It will help restore the skin to it's natural state and the massage will encourage blood flow to the area, helping to break down scar tissue more quickly. Don't use any oils if the skin is broken.
you can use that head off (or something like that) thing- they are those roll on things that come in helping headaches and for getting rid of scars. or something else which i think is called mederma.
please answer my question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?鈥?/a>
Strivectin, which is costly, or go to walgreens - they have mederma for $30, a walgreens generic treatment for $17, and scarzone for $6. Do it sooner than later. Use neosporin while the wound is still healing though.
Bio Oil! I've used it for my piercing scars.
Or you could go to your doctor and he can give you somethingg really good for it!
Mine did, but i can't remember what it was called.
Vitamin E is an oldy but goodie. Also, there are prescriptions like Merderma (not sure of the spelling) you can get from your doctor
