Manhood Skin 101: Understanding Dermatological Descriptions
by John Dugan OwnerDoctors are accustomed to using words that
may sound foreign to lay people. They’ve spent years in college and medical
school using these terms, so they come easily, like second nature. But when a
guy finds a manhood skin issue has suddenly appeared, he doesn’t have time to
bone up on his dermatological phrases and definitions before seeking out the
doc. He just wants to know if the manhood skin issue is a serious male organ health problem, and
what he needs to do about it.
There
are scores of dermatological descriptions, and most of us don’t really know the
exact meanings. A bump is a bump, a rash is a rash. But chances are that when
the dermatologist is asking questions, or is examining a guy’s privates and
telling him what they see, they’re going to describe his manhood skin with
terms that mean more to them than to the patient. With that in mind, here are a
few common dermatological descriptions that it pays to understand.
- Macule. A macule is an area of
skin that is a different color than the skin surrounding it, but which
generally is not raised, like a bump or a lump. On manhood skin, macules tend
to be very small, less than 1 cm in diameter.
- Patch. But what if a macule is
larger than 1 cm? Then it’s not a macule anymore; it’s a patch.
- Lesion. Any abnormal change in
tissue is referred to as a lesion. A “gross” lesion is not necessarily
repugnant; it just means that it is large enough that it can be seen by the
bare eye. (If it requires a microscope to be seen, it’s called a histologic
lesion.)
- Papule. A small lesion (usually
less than 1 cm) that is raised to some degree (and therefore could be
considered a bump). Pearly male organ papules are a common manhood skin issue
for many men. Papules can be any color.
- Plaque. In dermatological terms,
plaque is basically a larger (bigger than 1 cm) papule. It’s not higher than a
typical plaque, and the top tends to be flat. They also usually have a
well-defined border or edge.
- Nodule. An even larger papule
(bigger than 1.5 cm) may be a nodule. Unlike a plaque, nodules are taller than
a papule.
- Blister. A little “bag” of skin
that is filled with some fluid is referred to as a blister. The fluid is
usually clear-ish, but sometimes it may contain blood and therefore will take
on a reddish hue.
- Vesicle. A vesicle is a blister
smaller than 1 cm. When the vesicle is cut and the fluid runs out, the vesicle
generally collapses.
- Bulla. If a vesicle is bigger
than 1 cm, it is considered a bulla.
- Pustule. When the fluid inside a
vesicle is made up of neutrophils, it is called a pustule. Neutrophils are a
kind of white blood cell, important in the make-up of the immune system.
- Ulcer. An ulcer is a sore on the
skin which causes some loss of skin tissue. The area is often red due to
infection and inflammation.
- Verrucous. This describes a lesion
that is pebbly or rough.
- Umbilicated. Umbilicated refers to a
lesion with an indentation in the middle. These kinds of lesions are most often
caused by a virus.
Understanding
dermatological terms can make it easier to grasp what may be wrong with a
particular manhood skin issue. Manhood skin will have less chance of damage if
it is kept healthy through the regular use of a superior male organ health
crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is
clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Because manhood skin can become
dry and scaly, using a crème with proper moisturizing capability is essential.
Choose one that contains both a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and a
natural hydrator (like vitamin E). It’s also wise to select a crème with
vitamin C, which helps in the production of collagen and gives manhood skin the
tone and elasticity it needs.
