Husband has a yeast infection- how did he get it?

Hey ladies,

My husband came to me last night freaked out because he had some cheesy stuff under his foreskin along with little red pimple looking specs on the head of his penis. He said it felt itchy and it definitely looked irritated. After researching a bit we determined it’s a yeast infection.

He has great hygiene- his penis and foreskin area are always clean. I do not have a yeast infection.

Is this something that just happens to uncircumcised men? He’s 33 and said he’s never had this before. I know men can get it from a woman, but I don’t have one- everything south of the border looks, feels, and smells normal to me. Just odd to me since I always viewed yeast infection as a woman specific issue.

Waiting for the doctor to call him back to see what he can do for it, but just wondering if anyone has extra info on this.

Thanks!
