" Dear Dr. H, After I got pregnant, my husband&amp;#x27;s penis began to burn and the skin would be really dry and flake off. A doctor suggested he use yeast-infection medication, but after trying them, his symptoms went away for only about two months. When I took a vaginal yeast infection test, my pH was around 5.0-5.2. Does this mean I have some kind of infection? Read on for Dr. Hilda Hutcherson&amp;#x27;s response. A. While the increased pH could indicate a bacterial infection, it isn&amp;#x27;t a sign of a yeast infection since yeast makes pH more acidic, not more alkaline. However, your husband&amp;#x27;s penis shouldn&amp;#x27;t be peeling because of a yeast infection. Have you noticed dryness in your vagina? That is very common occurrence during pregnancy. And during sex, when you rub two dry surfaces together, some skin on the penis can be scraped off, which causes it to burn. As the abrasions dry, a scab forms, and what you&amp;#x27;re noticing may just be the scab flaking off. My suggestion would be for your partner to consult a doctor, as this could also be the result of eczema or skin dermatitis and can treated. Readers, do you have any other questions about infections?
