Signs of clinical infection in a man, usually small red spots or
plaques on the glans penis, should be treated with cream
applied to the infected area.

after treatment is complete, perhaps to avoid local irritation
which might provoke re-infection.
12.4 Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis is an infection of the lower genital trait in men
and women and is caused by an anearobic, motile protozoan
trichoman vaginalis. It is categorized as a sexually transmitted
disease (STD) with its transmission felt to be principally by
direct intimate contact.
Trichomoniasis vaginalis is significant because of the sever
vaginitis and its common association with other sexually
transmitted infections, particularly Neisseria gonorrhea and
Chlamydia trachomatis.
