Continuing pain after a yeast infection.

[Zeblue]

I'm new here. I had a yeast infection several months back, went to the doctor and got Fluconazole for a week which largely cleared it up. Since then I've had continued redness, pain and burning on and off. They've told me there's no fungal infection and sent me to a dermatologist who had me try hydrocortisone, desonide and a few barrier creams/wipes.

According to my dermatologist the issue is contact dermatitis around the skin fold near the head of my penis (I'm circumcised). Has anyone dealt with a similar situation and have any ideas on what I can try from here?

If your dermatologist thinks it is contact dermatitis, have they found out what is causing it? If the medication and barrier cream is s not working, have you got back to your dermatologist about that?

I've been to the dermatologist a few times. He thinks it's contact with the skin in that area, but nothing I've used seems to have helped.

Here is some info about contact dermatitis. It is normally caused by an external irritant.
