Member Bumps and Keratosis Pilaris
by John Dugan OwnerPicture
this: A guy is pumped because he thinks he will introduce his bedroom to a new
playmate tonight. While getting into the shower before his date, he notices
with dismay that his manhood has become afflicted with unsightly member bumps.
It’s not a situation any dude wants to encounter. Not only is he likely to worry
about what this means for his male organ health, but the
appearance of these member bumps is likely to discourage his new partner from
wanting to get to know him. Clearly he wants to find out the cause of these
unwelcome visitors to his manhood. The possibilities are many, and they include
a condition known as keratosis pilaris.
What
is keratosis pilaris?
Keratosis
pilaris has one of those names that makes it sound far worse (and far more
serious) than it actually is. The condition is more colloquially referred to as
“chicken skin” or sometimes as having goosebumps. Both nicknames come from the
physical appearance of the condition.
This
common skin condition manifests as tiny bumps, usually quite a few spread out
over an area of skin. The bumps often are mistaken for pimples, as they are
very similar in appearance. The skin that surrounds the bumps is often dry and
may sometimes be scaly. The bumps tend to get worse when weather is dry (and so
are typically worse during the winter than in the summer).
But
what are these bumps? They are clumps of a substance called keratin. This is a
naturally-occurring protein useful in protecting the skin from outside
substances and helping prevent it from getting infected. These keratin clumps
typically form around hair follicles.

Although
keratosis pilaris most often occurs on the arms or legs, it can occur elsewhere
on the body – including the member. Though most often on the base of the shaft,
it can spread upward and at times even reaches the head. It also can commonly
be found on the sacks. (And just for the record, the rear is a fairly common
place for the bumps as well.)
The
good news is that keratosis pilaris is generally found in people in their teens
and early 20s and in most cases disappears by the time a person turns 30.
Further good news is that this is a very benign condition; there’s no pain,
itching or discomfort involved with it. Its only drawback is that some people
consider it unattractive.
The bad
news is that there’s not really anything a guy can do to make it disappear. The
clumps tend to stay around until they are ready to go away. However, a man can
help to make them less obvious by treating the dry skin around them. Making
sure that skin is well moisturized can disguise the member bumps, usually to
the point where a person must get up close to even notice them.
They
also are not contagious, so there is no need to worry about passing them on to
any potential partners.
Treating
the member bumps caused by keratosis pilaris can be made substantially easier
by daily application of a top drawer male organ health crème (health professionals
recommend Man1 Man Oil, which
is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Since the goal is to keep the
manhood skin well moisturized, the chosen crème needs to contain both a
high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and an effective, natural hydrating
agent (such as vitamin E). This combination helps seal in moisturizing oils.
The skin will also benefit if the crème contains alpha lipoic acid. A potent
antioxidant, alpha lipoic acid strengthens male member skin by removing the
threat of oxidative stress free radicals can pose.
