Male Organ Bumps Could Be Ingrown Hairs
by John Dugan OwnerMale organ bumps can be caused by many
different factors and, depending on what the root cause is, may signify
something serious. Very often, however, male organ bumps are a sign of a
relatively benign issue and don’t mean a serious manhood health crisis is
present. One reason for male organ bumps that may surprise men is simply
ingrown hairs.
Ingrown
hairs
Ingrown
hairs are hairs that get under the skin, become inflamed and create bumps. Most
often ingrown hairs occur after a hair has been shaved or tweezed off. They are
most frequently found in men with curly hair, as the curvature of the follicle
makes it easier for it to grow back under the skin. When a razor cuts a curly
hair, it creates a sharp ending; if the hair is cut at a point where it is
curving inward, the sharp end is able to pierce the skin and grow inward. This
is more likely to happen if the skin is being shaved while dry and if the skin
is pulled tight while being shaved.
Known
medically as pseudofolliculitis barbae, ingrown hairs that cause male organ
bumps are much more common among men who shave their midsection area. (They
also occur more commonly on the face and can occur on the torso, arms or legs,
if a man shaves any of those body parts as well.) With manscaping becoming more
popular, the potential for more male organ bumps from ingrown hairs is
increasing.
Ingrown
hairs can be recognized from the following symptoms. Remember, a man does not
need to have all the symptoms to have an ingrown hair.
-
Small, rounded bumps
-
Small lesions that are filled with pus
-
Skin darkening in the affected area (also known as hyperpigmentation)
-
Pain and itching
-
Embedded hairs
Complications
In
addition to the possibility of male organ bumps, ingrown hairs can cause other
complications. Because the bumps tend to itch, scratching too much can lead to
irritation and a possible bacterial infection. In some cases, scratching may
also lead to small cuts in the skin. For people who are so inclined, these cuts
may turn into keloids, scarring that occurs in a “raised” form that tends to
spread out over a greater area than the cut itself.
Prevention
Men
who manscape should take some precautions to help prevent ingrown hairs (and
subsequent male organ bumps). These include:
- Be
sure to wash the area with warm water before shaving.
-
Find a gentle lubricating shaving cream (or gel); be sure it doesn’t contain
harsh chemicals which might irritate the sensitive skin.
-
Only use a sharp razor, never a dull one. After each stroke of the razor, rinse
it clean.
-
Don’t pull the skin too tight while shaving.
Ingrown
hairs often resolve on their own. However, if the bumps continue, or if they
become infected, contact a doctor to determine the best way of treating
them.
Male
organ bumps due to ingrown hairs are often accompanied by other male organ skin
issues. Keep the member in better general health by regularly utilizing a first
rate manhood health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man
Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Male organ
skin needs to be moisturized, so select a crème that includes both a high-end
emollient (Shea butter is very good) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin
E). In addition, enrich the skin by choosing a crème with a potent antioxidant
like alpha lipoic acid. This will enable the skin to fight excess free radicals
and thereby better avoid the heavy damage caused by oxidative stress. Keeping
male organ skin strong and healthy can help keep the manhood strong and
healthy.
