Hi Maples,

We can't diagnose it over the internet, so if you're concerned, your best bet is to check in with a healthcare provider. You can find our basic guide to discharge here:

And, if it turns out to be a yeast infection, we have some helpful information on how to manage that here:

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

Sure, why don't you have a look at this: http://www.mayoclinic.org/male-yeast-in ... q-20058464
