Male Organ Scabs: Causes and Treatment
A man will likely see many
scabs throughout his life. It’s to be expected in any sort of active lifestyle.
However, when a male organ scab shows up, it can be a much scarier experience.
It could be something as simple as an allergic reaction or as humbling as a
partner transmitted infection. While other scabs can be ignored, a scab on the
member can be more painful than when it appears on other parts of the body.
Scabs on the member can also require a different kind of treatment than one on
a knee or elbow. The member is a very sensitive appendage with thin, delicate
skin, so treatment must be gentle but effective. Here are a few causes of male
organ scabs, how to treat them, and finally, how to prevent them from showing
up in the first place.
Allergy
Male organ scabs can be a
result of an allergic reaction. There are many different types of allergens
form body products to laundry detergents to latex latex barriers. In addition
to scabs on the member, allergic reactions can also cause watery eyes, redness,
rash, itching, and general discomfort. Clean the area thoroughly a few times
each day and apply a cortisone crème. Take an antihistamine or ibuprofen for
pain.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin
condition where new skin cells are produced faster than the body can shed old
skin cells. This creates a build-up of dead skin cells, which can look like dry
patches or scabs on the member. See a doctor for diagnosis and a prescription
ointment for relief.
The following causes all
require a trip to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment:
Genital warts
Genital warts are caused
by Human papillomavirus (HPV), though a man can have HPV without having warts.
Some bumps can be hard to see, while others can be quite large and
flesh-colored. They are generally painless, but itchy. They turn into male
organ scabs if a man irritates or scratches at them, leading to a more extended
recovery period. Treatment can include topical creams, freezing warts off, and
in some more severe cases, surgery.
Lymphogranuloma venereum
A variety of chlamydia
causes lymphogranuloma venereum. It shows up as one or more, sometimes
painless, sores on the member. They may also scab over even if a man is still
contagious.
Genital herpes
Anywhere from two days to
two weeks, a man will start to see small bumps or blisters on the member. They
can soon evolve into oozing or bleeding ulcers, which will then turn into scabs
on the member. There may also be pain and itching. Herpes is for life, but
antiviral medications can prevent flareups.
Syphilis
Syphilis can be a
life-threatening disease that may appear as male organ scabs. A bacterial
infection causes the scabs on the member. This sore can be painless and can
sometimes go unnoticed. Even if the sore goes away on its own, a man still
needs to be tested, because if he is diagnosed, he needs treatment immediately
or he risks a fatal outcome. A shot of penicillin in the most common treatment.
Male Organ Scab Prevention
There are many ways to
prevent a man from getting scabs on his member. Here are a few that are very
easy to incorporate immediately:
1) If a man is sensually
active, he should be screened every three months (monthly if he has more than
one partner at a time) at a local clinic or by a healthcare professional.
2) Wear a latex barrier
during intimacy and use a barrier method for oral intimacy.
3) Avoid any kind of
skin-to-skin contact with someone who has or a man suspects of having a
contagious skin condition.
4) Do not share linens or
clothing with anyone who has a contagious skin condition.
5) Wear clean underwear
and change and wash immediately after a workout.
6) Practice good hygiene!
Shower regularly with a mild cleaner, thoroughly washing the area and rinsing
well. After a soft, pat dry, apply a specially formulated member
health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically
proven safe and mild for skin) to keep skin fresh, blemish-free, and
to protect against infection.
