When Those Manhood Bumps Are Warts…
Men
who regularly inspect their member as part of a regular male organ health regimen (and that should include all
men) are on the lookout for anything out of the ordinary – a rash,
discoloration, growths, etc. One thing to be looking for is manhood bumps, any
raised areas of the skin that were not there previously. Manhood bumps can
arise for a multitude of reasons, and very often are no cause for alarm.
Sometimes, what may initially appear to be manhood bumps may in fact be male
organ warts – and these need to be identified.
Male
organ warts
How
does a guy know if manhood bumps are actually warts? Male organ warts are more
commonly called midsection warts, as they may appear anywhere in the midsection
area or in or around the posterior. They are small and usually skin-colored or
grayish in color. They tend to be raised and flat in top, resembling warts
commonly found on other parts of the body. Often they appear in clusters.
Cause
Almost
all member warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Many people have
heard about HPV and its link to cancer in recent years. Most of the time (but
not necessarily all of the time), the forms of HPV that cause midsection warts
have a lower link to cancer development.
Male
organ warts are considered a social disease, because the transmission of HPV
almost always is through sensual means. It is the most common social disease
transmitted by way of a virus. (BTW, 20% of individuals with these warts also
have another form of social disease.)
Male
organ warts are enormously contagious; it is easy to become infected after just
one sensual encounter with a person who has them. The use of barrier protections
can cut down on the risk of infection significantly, as can being vaccinated
against HPV.
Complicating
matters are two facts: (1) Many people who become infected with HPV don’t
develop warts and so they may be unaware of the infection, and (2) many people
who become infected may not develop warts for months after they contract the
infection. And a person can pass on the infection even if they do not have
warts.
Treatment
There
are numerous treatments that might remove male organ warts. These include chemical
treatments, applied once a week in a clinic setting for several weeks; at-home
crème treatments, again for several weeks; or physical removal of the warts.
The latter takes several forms, including freezing or burning the warts off,
which should be conducted by a medical professional.
It’s
important to note that over-the-counter medications for removing warts are
designed for warts which appear on other parts of the body; a man should not
use them to remove male organ warts, lest he suffer serious skin damage.
Even
after male organ warts are removed, the virus that caused them is likely to
still be present in the body. It’s important to discuss this with a doctor to
determine what steps to take to decrease the likelihood of transmission of the
virus or what to do if warts recur.
Manhood
bumps, whether in the form of warts or not, are never a pleasant experience for
a man. Often maintaining overall member health can help lower the likelihood of
manhood bumps, so be sure to regularly use a top notch male organ health crème (health professionals
recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin).
Since bumps often come with some degree of soreness, choose a crème that
includes a pair of potent moisturizers, such as a high-end emollient (Shea
butter is excellent) and a natural hydrator (look for vitamin E). It also pays
to select a crème with vitamin D, which has proven benefits in fighting
diseases and supporting healthy cellular function.
