Blotchy Red Male Organ? Could be Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
by John Dugan OwnerFor many men, especially those with lighter skin, a red male organ
is not an unusual sight. After all, when blood rushes to the manhood to make it
tumescent, it tends to take on a reddish hue. But sometimes a red male organ
can be a sign of a possible male organ health issue, especially when that
redness presents as blotches or rashes. There can be many contributing factors
to such a situation; one of the (thankfully) more unusual one is a condition
known as Henoch-Schonlein purpura.
About the condition
Also known as purpura rheumatic and anaphylactoid purpura,
Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a disease that affects the skin and the mucous
membranes, and sometimes may affect other organs, such as the kidneys. Although
it is most often found in children, it can occur in individuals of any age,
including full-grown men.
The term “purpura” refers to red or purplish spots that appear on
the skin and which do not “blanch” (or turn white) when pressed. Purpura
appears when there is a bleeding underneath the skin, which may be the result
of a problem with platelets, coagulation, blood vessels or other factors.
In Henoch-Schonlein purpura, the situation involves the small
blood vessels in the skin and joints and can also involve those in the kidneys
and the intestines. The purpura rash typically appears on the lower
half of the body – the legs, buttocks (and in males) sacks and manhood.
Sometimes the spots appear in all of these places; sometimes they may be
localized primarily in one place (such as the male organ).
Cause
Exactly what causes this kind of purpura is unknown, although the
inflammation does seem to come about from the immune system having a response
to a trigger. Some typical triggers include a cold or cough; strep throat;
measles; insect bites; and allergic reactions to medications or foods. In some
cases, exposure to cold weather seems to be a trigger.
In addition to the visible and obvious rash, Henoch-Schonlein
purpura is often accompanied by pain and/or swelling in the joints. Often
nausea or other gastro-intestinal issues may develop. If the case is severe,
there may be kidney issues as well, such as blood appearing in the urine. (In
very rare cases, a severe form of the disorder can bring about significant
kidney damage.)
Doctors typically take blood and urine samples in order to
diagnose the condition; in some cases, they may need to take a small skin
sample to look for an antibody typically found with this disorder.
Treatment
Most cases of this form of purpura resolve on their own in a month
or so, with proper rest and use of everyday pain relievers. However, if a man
finds this red male organ problematic, or if the condition is severe, a doctor
may recommend the use of corticosteroids; however, most doctors prefer to use a
“wait and see” approach first.
Some men report that this kind of purpura can make their member
feel tender; others report no complaints. For those in the former group, it may
be necessary to refrain from sensual activity until the inflammation has been
taken care of.
When Henoch-Schonlein purpura is responsible for a man’s blotchy
red male organ, he may worry about his overall male organ health. Fortunately,
daily application of a superior male organ health creme (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe
for skin) is one good way to help maintain proper male member care. As
with the body as a whole, the member benefits from treatment with vitamins, so
it is imperative to select a crème with a good range, such as vitamins A, B5,
C, D, and E. Male organ skin also needs to be kept strong, so a crème with a
powerful antioxidant like alpha lipoic acid is necessary. This antioxidant
helps keep down excess free radicals and thereby protects the delicate manhood
skin from oxidative stress.
