What is a medicine for a man with yeast infection?

You can get medicine for this at the chemist. It is also in most cases easily treatable by Tee tree oil. Tee tree oil has got very strong anti-fungal properties and kills off yeast. Do not use it pure though. This is painful and harms tissue. 1 to 9 solution gives you 10%. 1 part Tee tree oil and 9 part Sunflower oil or similar. It doesn't smell that great, but it is effective. Medicine from chemist is equally as effective, doesn't smell, but may cost more. Some people are allergic to Tee tree oil though.
