Use lotrimin or lamisil cream on any yeast affected area.
Rarely is yeast seen in men. If it recurs, one should be tested for diabetes.
You consider to take same medications like your partner
Symptoms of irritation on penis
Signs and symptoms may include:
Moist skin on the penis, possibly with areas of a thick, white substance collecting in skin folds
Areas of shiny, white skin on the penis
Redness, itching or a burning sensation on the penis
You may be more likely to develop balanitis from a yeast infection if you:
Aren't circumcised
Use antibiotics for prolonged periods
Have diabetes
Have an impaired immune system, such as with HIV
Are overweight
Practice poor hygiene
If you and your partner both have symptoms of a yeast infection, it's important that you both be treated to avoid reinfecting each other.

You do need to figure out what kind of fungal infection dose your partner has and start from there.
The closest male equivalent of the female yeast infection is 'jock itch'.
