Male Organ Rash Symptoms and Psoriasis: Is Phototherapy a Good Treatment Option?
by John Dugan OwnerThere’s nothing pleasant about psoriasis, wherever on one’s body
it occurs - and when it presents as a male organ rash it can be especially
distressing. Sensual partners may misinterpret it as a social disease, and even
those who realize it’s not that may still start to question a guy’s commitment
to his male organ health. Other men who see it at the gym may smirk or stare,
causing further embarrassment and self-consciousness. Clearly, tending to this
male organ rash is important – so is it possible to use phototherapy as a
treatment option for psoriasis on the manhood?
About psoriasis
Psoriasis is one of those conditions that people have heard of but
– unless they themselves suffer from it – may have only a passing understanding
of. When a guy has psoriasis, it means that his skin cells are
overproducing – skin cells start building up rapidly on the surface, creating
an unsightly scales and red patches that can itch severely and often are tender
and painful to the touch. The skin is also often dry and cracked, sometimes
bleeding easily. In addition, psoriasis may sometimes cause one’s joints to
stiffen as well.
Psoriasis can appear on many different parts of the body,
including the member and surrounding areas. It’s an autoimmune disease, and at
this time there is no cure for it – only treatments which aim to address the
symptoms and keep the disease from recurring. Exactly what causes it is
unknown, but it results when the body’s T cells start attacking its skin cells.
Treatment also involves identifying potential “triggers” which
cause flare-ups of psoriasis and working to eliminate r diminish these
triggers. Some typical triggers are infections; skin injuries; bug bites;
stress; smoking; too much alcohol; too little vitamin D; and some medications,
like beta blockers and lithium.
Phototherapy
As mentioned, treatments often are focused on addressing the
symptoms, such as the rash itself. Topical corticosteroids, usually in crème
form, are often recommended. Sometimes simple moisturizers are
recommended for the member instead, due to the sensitivity of male organ
skin. (One trick for applying such moisturizers to a male organ rash
caused by psoriasis is to apply it to the member, then apply it inside a latex
protection. Slip the latex protection over the member, and wear underneath
clothing, in order to help keep the “moisturizing” continue throughout the
day.) Vitamin D and several other medications are also often employed.
In recent years, phototherapy has been recommended by some doctors
to treat psoriasis. UVB light is provided from a lamp or similar source, often
being applied in “bursts” to the affected area. This has proven effective for
many kinds of psoriasis.
However, using phototherapy for a male organ rash caused by
psoriasis is trickier than when using it elsewhere on the body. Again, because
of the delicacy and the sensitivity of thin manhood skin, phototherapy must be
used at a lower intensity to avoid painful sunburns on the member. It also can
dry the male organ skin out even more. And because it is used at a lower dose,
it may not be as effective as when used at a higher dose on other parts of the
body. In addition, some doctors fear that male organ phototherapy could
increase the risk of developing male organ cancer.
Bottom line: If a man has psoriasis on the manhood, he should
discuss with his doctor the pros and cons of using phototherapy, if it is
recommended as a treatment option.
Treating male organ rash from psoriasis requires moisturization,
so regular use of a quality male
organ health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil,
which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) may be beneficial.
It’s crucial to utilize a crème with a combination of superior
hydrating agents, such as shea butter and vitamin E. In
addition, crème with a potent antioxidant, such as alpha lipoic
acid, is urged. This helps keep male member skin healthier by fighting excess
free radicals which can cause oxidative stress.
