Member Bumps: Avoiding Hives Triggers
by John Dugan OwnerLooking down at the manhood and
discovering it has developed member bumps is never a pleasant surprise for a
guy. Their presence signals a new worry about his male organ health, although often
the bumps don’t correlate with a significant health issue. Member bumps can
come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, so it’s no surprise that they can be
caused by many different things. One of the causes many men don’t think about
is hives – so learning more about hives prepares a guy for dealing with them.
What
are hives?
Hives
is the common name used to describe a condition that is medically known as
urticarial. They present as welts on the skin. Some can be small and others can
be relatively large. In some instances, they are raised slightly, which gives
them a bump-like look; in other instances, they may more closely resemble a
rash. Often one welt will “bleed” into another, making the two appear as one
large welt.
Hives
are usually circular in shape. Often, especially with larger welts, they will
be a deep red around the perimeter and a paler red in the center. Hives usually
itch, causing discomfort; when they appear as member bumps, it can be embarrassing
for a man, as he often is caught scratching “down there.”
Individual
hives don’t usually last long, often fading away in 24 hours – but they are
usually replaced by new hives. It is not unusual for a case of acute hives to
last as long as six weeks, with old hives fading and new ones replacing them.
If a bout of hives continues beyond 6 weeks, it is considered a chronic
case.
What
causes hives?
Hives
are basically an allergic reaction on the skin. Some “trigger” sends a signal
to the body to release histamines to fight the trigger. This reaction causes
the hives to form. Therefore, if a guy knows what his hives triggers are, he
can take steps to avoid those triggers and thereby prevent hives from
occurring.
Unfortunately,
sometimes determining exactly what the trigger is can be challenging, mainly
because many things are associated with triggering hives. Some of the
more common causes include:
-
Pets. Many dogs, cats and other animals shed dander, which may be a hives
trigger.
-
Pollen.
-
Insect bites and stings.
-
Viral or fungal infections.
-
Stress and anxiety.
-
Certain foods, including shellfish, nuts, milk, chocolate, berries, eggs, soy,
citrus fruits, etc.
-
Sweating.
-
Bacteria.
-
Exposure to the sun.
-
Certain chemicals (including some in soaps or laundry detergents).
With
such a wide range, narrowing down a trigger may take a lot of time. Working
with a doctor is advised. They will likely recommend that a person keeps a
comprehensive journal of all the foods, medicines, etc. that he takes and any
exposures he may have to potential triggers. The journal will include, as close
as possible, the time when a person may have been exposed to a trigger, so that
a link can be theorized if hives occur soon after. (Hives may occur within
minutes, but sometimes may take about two hours to show up).
Once
hives triggers are identified, a person can take steps to avoid those triggers.
He also can learn what treatments he can use to help deal with the symptoms of
hives.
As
mentioned, member bumps caused by hives tend to itch greatly. Regular use of a
first rate male organ health crème (health professionals recommend
Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) can
help alleviate this. A crème that contains a combination of a high-end
emollient (like Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (like vitamin E) will
provide moisture that can help soothe itching. It also helps if the crème
contains alpha lipoic acid, a powerful antioxidant which strengthens male organ
skin by fighting free radicals.
