Male Organ Bumps from Seborrheic Keratosis Are Benign
by John Dugan Owner“Uh-oh! What’s that?” This is a sentence no guy wants to utter
while conducting a routine male organ health inspection—or even when just
happening to glance at his equipment in the mirror—but it’s one that does come
up from time to time. Often, the aberration that causes this exclamation is due
to the discovery of new male organ bumps that had not previously blessed his
member. There can be numerous reasons for the arrival of new male organ bumps, and
fortunately many of them are benign – that is, harmless (even if in some cases
unattractive). For instance, occasionally, bumps may be seborrheic keratosis,
which don’t win prizes for their physical beauty, but which do not indicate a
social disease or other male organ health problem.
About seborrheic keratosis
Okay, so they’re not dangerous – that’s good. But they mar an
otherwise handsome manhood, so what should a guy know about them?
Well, “seborrheic” means that it is related to the sebaceous
glands. These are glands, found all over the body and secrete an oily or waxy
matter. Some men are already familiar with sebaceous glands because they are
the source of Fordyce spots – tiny little white or clear bumps that can appear
on the skin of the manhood and the sacks. (They are completely harmless.)
“Keratoses” refers to growths of keratin, which Wikipedia tells us is the “key
structural material making up hair, nails, claws, hooves, and the outer layer
of human skin.” So, seborrheic keratoses are basically growths made up of oily
or waxy keratin.
Appearance
Although this article is concerned with seborrheic keratosis
appearing as male organ bumps, they can appear anywhere on the body; in fact,
they appear less commonly on the member than on the torso or face. They vary in
color from light tan to brown to black. When they first appear, they tend to be
small little bumps, but they gradually thicken and become elevated. Often as
they grow, they take on a warty look, causing some men to fear they have
sensual organ warts – but they are not warts. They range in size from tiny to
more than one inch, with most tending to be around a quarter- or half-inch.
They are sometimes mistaken for signs of skin cancer, but again, they are
actually benign.
Seborrheic keratoses are more common in fairer-skinned people, and
also more likely to occur when a person reaches middle age or older (although
they can occur at younger ages).
Removal
Aside from an occasional itchiness, seborrheic keratoses don’t
themselves cause much bother; however, they may get irritated when the member
rubs against clothing or surfaces. In addition, because they do resemble
sensual organ warts or cancerous growths, many men may wish to have them
removed. There are several typical methods of removal, including:
- Cryosurgery, in which they are frozen off, much like common
warts
- Curettage, in which special tools are used to scrape the very
surface of the skin
- Ablation, in which a laser is used to vaporize the problem
- Electrocautery, in which an electrical current burns the growth
away
Often, a doctor may use a combination of these methods to remove
the keratoses.
Spotting new male organ bumps, whether caused by seborrheic
keratoses or other causes, demonstrates that a man is practicing good male
member care, and so he is hopefully already using a top-drawer male organ
health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically
proven mild and safe for skin) on a regular basis. Care should be taken
in selecting a cream – one that contains both a high-end emollient (such as
shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E). These ingredients
combine to create a “moisture lock” that helps keep delicate manhood skin well
hydrated and protected. Further protection is provided if the cream also
contains alpha-lipoic acid, a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce the
dangers of oxidative stress to member skin.
