Folliculitis Can Cause Itchy Male Organ Problems
Some men can’t seem to keep their hands out of their pants, but
it’s not necessarily due to an overactive sensual drive. No, some men simply
have a very itchy male organ, the kind that demands it be scratched. As male
organ health issues go, an itchy male organ is one of the very most common –
and one of the potentially most embarrassing. Sometimes that itchiness may be
due to a reaction to something a guy ate, but there can be other causes as
well, such as folliculitis.
A follicle issue
As the name seems to imply, folliculitis has something to do with
hair follicles. Specifically, when a person has folliculitis, it means that
some portion of their hair follicles has become inflamed. Usually that
inflammation occurs because of either a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection;
in some instances, ingrown hairs may bring about the inflammation.
When a man has folliculitis, little red pinpoint dots appear,
sometimes all over his body, sometimes isolated to one or a few areas (which
can include the member, sack, and surrounding area). These dots are bumps,
somewhat raised, and there’s often a small drop of pus also associated with
some or all of the bumps. There may be only a few bumps or there may be dozens.
Each of those bumps corresponds to a singular infected hair
follicle. In addition to their red appearance, they have something else in
common with each other: they tend to be very itchy. So when folliculitis
strikes the midsection, an itchy male organ often results. Sometimes the bumps
can also create a burning sensation, which is unpleasant anywhere but
especially so on the manhood. The skin of the surrounding areas is also likely
to be very tender.
Sometimes various forms of folliculitis are known by different
names, such as hot tub rash or barber’s rash.
At risk
Absolutely anyone can get folliculitis, but there are some people
who are more prone to getting it than others. Among the risk factors for
folliculitis are:
- A weakened immune system, such as may occur in a person with
diabetes or HIV.
- Curly hair on a male who shaves. The curliness can bring about
an ingrown hair more easily, potentially causing folliculitis. A curly-haired
man who shaves his crotch is at somewhat higher risk of an itchy male organ
from folliculitis.
- Having acne or dermatitis, or taking long-term treatments for
the same.
- Wearing rubber gloves or other clothing that especially traps
heat in the body.
- Wearing clothing that is too tight.
Treatment and prevention
A mild case of folliculitis may resolve itself or may be resolved
with the use of some home remedies. These include using antibacterial washes
and/or diluted white vinegar in the affected area. More often, a person needs
to see a doctor to determine what treatments would be best. Often, a topical or
oral antibiotic may be prescribed.
There are several steps a person can take to help prevent
folliculitis. Good basic hygiene is the first step, but it’s also wise to avoid
sharing razors, which can transfer the cause of folliculitis from one person to
another. Avoiding getting too close a shave is also desired, as is changing
razor blades frequently. Try not to wear clothing that is too tight, especially
for extended periods of time. And be sure that any hot tubs or swimming pools
one uses are properly cleaned and disinfected.
No man wants either folliculitis or an itchy male organ, so he
should take the further step of regularly applying a superior male organ health
creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically
proven mild and safe for skin). Keeping the skin hydrated is another way to
prevent folliculitis, so please select a crème that has a team of expert
moisturizing agents, such as shea butter and vitamin E. The crème should also
include vitamin D3, the so-called “miracle vitamin,” which has proven benefits
in fighting diseases and supporting healthy cellular function.
