Rash on Member: Could it be Herpes?
by John Dugan OwnerWhen a man notices a rash on his manhood, he’s likely to get very
concerned – and for good reason. Though most rashes on or around the manhood
are benign and will go away after a few days, some of them are more serious.
That can be the case with a herpes rash, which can progress to something very
painful and unpleasant. Any man who is intimately active might wonder at some
point if a rash on his manhood is herpes. Here’s what everyone needs to know
about this condition.
The Basics on Herpes
First, a basic primer: Herpes is caused by the herpes simplex
virus. More than 50 percent of Americans have HSV-1, which is the form of
herpes that causes sores in the mouth. These ulcers are usually called cold
sores or fever blisters. There are many over the counter medications designed
to help reduce the problem. This strain of herpes is quite common.
Genital herpes is not so common. A little less than 20 percent of
people in the United States have HSV-2, which is the form of herpes that causes
herpes outbreaks in the private area. For many people, herpes is quite mild,
and a lot of those infected might have no idea they have it. For others, it can
be more severe, leading to blisters and lesions on the manhood.
Manhood Care with Herpes
One of the first signs of herpes is a rash on the manhood. There
are often other signs with the first outbreak, which can include flu-like
symptoms, such as muscle aches and pains, nausea, fever, and itching, burning
or tingling of the skin, especially in the private area.
Shortly after that, blisters appear. These blisters might start
out as a mild rash but quickly progress to fluid-filled blisters around the
manhood and the rear. They might be rather painful to the touch. When the
blisters open up and release their fluid, they leave behind lesions, or open
wounds, that can be even more painful. Sometimes these blisters even appear in
the urethra, which can make urination hurt.
Once the blisters have drained and the lesions begin to heal, they
will scab over just as any other wound might. The scabs will diminish and
slough away over time, leaving healed skin behind. However, another outbreak
could start the cycle all over again.
When dealing with a herpes outbreak, it’s safe to say the manhood
skin is going through a tough time. Experts provide a few tips for dealing with
it:
- Don’t mess with the blisters! Wash hands thoroughly after
touching the manhood.
- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Avoid tight clothing.
- Avoid excess alcohol consumption.
- Avoid UV light – no tanning beds, and no natural sunbathing.
A Final Word to the Wise
It’s important to remember that herpes can be spread easily, even
when using a protective device appropriately each and every time. In addition,
it can be spread before a person even shows any symptoms. Therefore it is
vitally important to tell all partners about herpes status, always use a
protective device for some protection, and stay away from intimate activity
during an active outbreak of herpes.
Maintaining Good Manhood Care
When dealing with a herpes outbreak, the lesions and scabs can be
unsightly and uncomfortable. When the manhood has healed, it’s time to use a
good male organ health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically
proven safe and mild for skin) to get it back into tip-top shape. Look
for a crème that contains vitamin B5, known for cell regeneration, and vitamin
E, known for repairing skin cells. Also look for Shea butter, a moisturizing
agent with powerful healing properties. Any rash on the manhood – herpes or not
– can benefit from these powerful ingredients applied on a daily basis.
