Can boys get thrush

Yes, boys can get thrush, which is a yeast infection caused by the overgrowth of Candida, a type of fungus. It can occur in the mouth, on the skin, or in the genital area. In boys, it may manifest as a red, itchy rash or white patches on the penis. Factors such as a weakened immune system, antibiotic use, or poor hygiene can increase the risk of developing thrush.
