The real problem here is how you get his roommate to take the medication. You can't really throw a bottle of yeast medication at her and tell her to apply 3 times daily, she'd throw him out.
Put the medication into one of these, and attach it to the showerhead.

"Accurately dilutes and sprays liquid fungicides."

Are you kidding?
He's an ATOTer with 3 female roommates.
He masturbates EVERYWHERE.

Constantly.

Furiously.


Well the reason I ask...

it might actually be him creating the cottage cheese. In hot running water the spermies coagulate and then get stuck to the floor before draining away. They're probably thinking, WTF, why am I stepping on this stuff after each of his showers...

If the "residue" is blue tinted in color, it's a possibility that the hot water heater is going bad. What happens is: the magnesium anode slowly disintegrates (by design), and you get blue tinted crumbly material inside the water heater. If not drained off periodically, can end up clogging the shower head.
Note: a magnesium anode rod is normally present in both gas and electric water heaters.

Really? Why would a gas water heater need an anode?

It's also called a "sacrificial anode" and is not actually connected to the electrical circuit. By it's presence, it helps prevent corrosion to the water tank and other components. It can be periodically replaced to keep everything running optimally.

Ahhhh, right, that kind of thing.

I was expecting the insides to be made of stainless steel - unless they are, and the anode is there for some extra protection.

Good 316 stainless sure isn't cheap though.

I thought you were trolling or a moron (many times no difference) after that land line thread: this fucker confirms it!

I'm glad you think my roommate situation is amusing.

You know what I also find? Long disgusting black hairs in the shower, like I'm living with Chewbacca.

I only have 3 more months in this hellhole.

Women appear clean only because they shed filth so readily.

If I were you I'd start showering outside with the garden hose.

Seriously though, talk to your roommates about this.

And if it's white, it could still be the water heater and he has an inferior aluminum anode. Which should be replaced with magnesium.

Does it look anything like this, OP?

I was wondering how I was going to make it to lunch without having any breakfast... This thread solved that problem.

FWIW, and I debated whether or not this needed to be said because I wasn't sure how serious were the responses, but yeast infections don't produce cottage cheese. At least, not remotely enough exudate would be produced to ever run-out of someone and be mistaken for a pile of cottage cheese. Except maybe in some country where a woman has no access to medical care and has been festering for so long that she is nearly dying from an overwhelming case of candidiasis/mycosis, and even then its doubtful.

You're wrong. When I was living with my sister she had a yeast infection. Everytime I would step into the shower there were pieces of "it" everywhere. We only had one bathroom in the house so I was forced to bath outside with a bucket.
Your sister either did not have a yeast infection or said material was not coming from it. I worked in the medical field for years. I've seen yeast infections, medically significant yeast infections.
