Generally a "yeast infection" on a male is called jock itch. Basically the same fungus that gets you in athlete's foot. Maybe they should call is athlete's itch.
The Rx treatment that is most common is Ketaconozole ointment (2%), but OTC medications such as tolnaftate (brand Tinactin) and clotrimazole (Lotrimin) are used frequently with success for a minor outbreak. Another that is well known by the ladies is tioconazole (Monistat). You will notice that these are packaged differently for feet and groin. It's the same stuff (check the percentage active ingredients) and get the best value.
I never experience a fungal infection until I married. I went to bed healthy and woke up with my groin in explosive, puffy red welts. I can attest that the nerves in this area are very sensitive. A certain level of "yeasts" is present in the healthy vagina and after a few months my immune system adapted and problems have only recurred a couple of times.
