Razor Burn Can Cause an Itchy Male Organ
by John Dugan OwnerAs a quick
glance around the locker room may confirm, more and more men are manscaping
nowadays. Whether it’s a total torso right-to-the-skin shave or just a
neat-and-tidy trim of the pubic hair, it’s common now for men to take their
razors and move below the neck nowadays. As long as a guy is appropriately
careful when shaving the manhood and sacks, there’s no overt male organ health
issue, of course. But there can be a secondary issue when manscaping leads to
razor burn, namely an itchy male organ.
Razor burn
Most men who are
regular shavers already have some familiarity with razor burn. Also
known as razor bumps or barber’s itch, and clinically called pseudofolliculitis
barbae (when anywhere on the body) or pseudofolliculitis pubis (when
specifically on the member, sacks or midsection), razor burn is a situation
where small, raised red bumps appear after shaving. (Although
typically not immediately after shaving; at first, skin appears to feel smooth
as a baby’s behind, but the bumps soon present.)
And those bumps
come accompanied by the need to scratch. Yes, an itchy male organ is in the
cards for most guys with razor burn in the midsection. (for the
record, in some cases, there can be other symptoms related to razor burn. The
red bumps may worsen into solid, larger bumps or may even become pus-filled
blisters. In these cases, there may also be some pain accompanying the razor
burn.)
Razor burn is
more likely to occur in men with curly hair (especially curly pubic
hair). That’s because the hair follicle meets some obstacle when
trying to break through the skin, curling back underneath instead and causing
the bumps to appear.
Treatment
Even if the only
symptoms are the little bumps and an itchy male organ, razor burn can be very
annoying. Guys get easily embarrassed when caught with their hand on their
midsection, scratching away. And potential partners see such an action and
wonder if they just can’t keep their hands off themselves or if there may be
something like crabs causing the itchy male organ.
So what should a
guy do to treat the razor burn and help banish the itchy male
organ? There are seveal things.
- Grab a
shower. Clearly, keeping the body clean is an excellent idea in its
own right, but taking a nice, warm shower can help with razor burn. Why?
Because warm water relaxes the skin and helps the pores to open, and open pores
make it easier for the trapped pubic hair to find a way out.
Incorporating a wet, soapy rough (but not too rough) washcloth into the process
is even better; the washcloth helps exfoliate (remove dead skin cells), which
further makes it easier for the pores to open. (Do not use a rough exfoliating
treatment on the manhood; the skin is too sensitive.)
- Moisturize. Male
member skin benefits from being well moisturized in general; it can be
especially helpful with this problem, as the moisturization makes the skin more
tender, allowing the trapped follicles to break through the skin surface more
easily.
- Apply
a warm (not hot) compress. Again, the heat from the compress helps
the skin relax and the pores to open. (It’s all about helping those
curled follicles to escape!)
- Keep
it loose. Wearing tight clothes may show off a guy’s package, but it
can irritate his itchy male organ and the razor burn. Loose boxers and baggier
trousers are the order of the day until the burn is gone.
Treating itchy
male organ from razor burn is easier if a guy daily applies a superior male
organ health oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically
proven mild and safe for skin). The key is to select an oil that
will help moisturize, such as one with both a high end emollient (such as shea
butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E). The oil should also contain
vitamin B5, aka pantothenic acid, which is a vital nutrient that is required
for cell metabolism and the maintenance of healthy tissue.
