Summer Male Organ Rash: Swimmer’s Itch?
by John Dugan OwnerThese
lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer give people the chance to engage in outdoor
activities that are off-limits when the weather turns cold. Chief among these,
of course, is swimming, and that’s why lakes and rivers are packed with people
during the summer months. Of course, engaging in swimming is not totally
without risks, and in some cases it can potentially cause a bit of a male organ
health situation. For example, diving into those cool lake waters may be
refreshing, but sometimes a guy can come out with a male organ rash that is
often known, fittingly, as swimmer’s itch.
Swimmer’s itch
Medically classified as cercarial dermatitis, swimmer’s itch is by
no means limited to a male organ rash or even limited to the manhood at all.
This eruption can appear on any part of the body, but this article will focus
on its presentation specifically as a male organ rash.
Swimmer’s itch can be found in both salt and fresh water, but it
is more often a fresh water issue – so lakes, ponds and rivers are more likely
to cause it than the ocean. The cause of this male organ rash is a tiny
microscopic parasite called a schistosome. Birds (like ducks, geese and swans)
and certain mammals (especially raccoons and muskrats especially) are the
natural hosts of these parasites.
When these nasty parasites infect an animal, they lay eggs which
get carried out of the animal’s body as part of their stool. If the eggs end up
in water, they hatch and the baby parasites start swimming around looking for a
particular kind of host, a specific snail which lives in and around the water.
These snails in turn release a different kind of parasite – the aforementioned
schistosome – which needs to find its own host. The schistosomes would
much rather latch onto a goose or a raccoon, but they aren’t picky and will
take whatever host may be handy – such as some guy swimming by.
They then burrow into his skin, thinking they’ve found a good
host. But surprise! Humans aren’t really able to give them what they need. By
the time they figure this out, it’s too late – they’re stuck there and they
soon die.
But not before setting off alarms in the host’s body which causes
the male organ rash.
Rash
As the name swimmer’s itch implies, the rash is one which is quite
itchy – which can be embarrassing when it is localized on and around the
member. In some cases, the itchiness can become a tingling sensation or even a
burning one. Its physical presentation is of small reddish pimples; in some
cases, they may instead resemble small red blisters.
Although the rash looks nasty, it is not easily spread from one
person to another. However, the male organ rash may be irritated from friction
that accompanies sensual activity.
Typically the rash will occur anywhere from a few hours to a few
days after exposure to the parasites. A doctor’s attention is rarely needed.
Using over-the-counter corticosteroid creams or anti-itching lotions can help,
as can applying cold compresses and baking soda pastes or soaking in oatmeal
baths.
A male organ rash from swimmer’s itch or other causes needs the
soothing relief of a top drawer male
organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil,
which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). The manhood skin needs
to be kept hydrated, so a crème with a combination of moisturizing agents –
such as vitamin E and shea butter – is essential. In addition, the crème should
contain a range of vitamins – A, B5, C and D, in addition to E – to help
strengthen the male member skin and allow it to heal more quickly and
effectively.
