That Member Rash: Eczema or Psoriasis?
by John Dugan OwnerPresenting the manhood to a partner,
especially a new one, is a big moment, and one that guys want to make a big
impression. Unfortunately, few things can mar that good impression more than an
unsightly member rash. A bedmate is likely to take that member rash as a sign
that, at the very least, this guy doesn’t care very much about his manhood health – even if he
typically spends a great deal of time on that subject. There are many potential
causes of a member rash, including eczema or psoriasis. People use these two
terms interchangeably – so how does a guy tell them apart?
Dermatitis
It’s
easy to see why people get eczema and psoriasis confused with each other. They
are both a form of dermatitis. And what is dermatitis? It’s an inflammation of
the skin, which generally causes redness, rashing and itching. Often swelling
of some kind is associated with dermatitis. There are many different kinds of
dermatitis, not just eczema and psoriasis.
Similarities
So
eczema and psoriasis are both relatively common forms of dermatitis. How are
they alike?
Well,
in the way that they meet the general requirements of dermatitis: they both
tend to be marked by a red rash. The rash causes itchiness, and it also tends
to be dry. And, of course, they tend to have some itchiness associated with
them.
Differences
So
they sound similar, but there are significant differences.
Take
the itching, for example. Both eczema and psoriasis itch. But in most cases,
eczema produces a more intense itch than psoriasis.
In
addition, the rash each causes has a different appearance. Eczema tends to
present as small blisters or bumps. Psoriasis typically has better-defined
edges, and may be scaly and thick. There may be silvery scales associated
with the psoriasis rash.
Some
of the differences between eczema and psoriasis may are not visible to the eye.
Eczema, for example, occurs because of external environmental factors. A guy
may have switched laundry detergents and started using one with harsh or
unfamiliar chemicals. The member rash that occurs is eczema, a reaction to this
harsh chemical.
Psoriasis,
on the other hand, is genetic in nature and comes about from a response to
something happening inside the body. (Because of the genetic link, it typically
occurs in adulthood, while eczema can first appear in childhood.) It is also
associated with psoriatic arthritis, a long-term kind of inflammatory
arthritis.
Knowing
that eczema’s causes tend to be external, a guy can help determine which of
these two forms of dermatitis might be responsible for a member rash. If he is
wearing new clothes, has come in contact with a new fabric, switched soaps or
detergents, etc., it is more likely to be eczema. With the male organ
especially, using a new brand of latex protections or seed-blocking foam could
be responsible.
While
eczema or psoriasis are more likely to appear elsewhere on the body, they can
indeed make an unwelcome appearance on the manhood.
Treatment
After
a doctor has diagnosed the condition properly, they can recommend the
appropriate treatment. Both conditions typically include moisturizing the
affected skin, but there may be different approaches as well. For example,
eczema often responds to the use of antihistamines, while psoriasis does
not.
Whether
caused by eczema, psoriasis or another reason, treating a male organ rash is
important. In many cases, regular use of a top notch manhood health
crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is
clinically proven mild and safe for skin) can make a difference. Be
sure to find a crème that includes a combination of powerful moisturizers, such
as natural Shea butter and vitamin E. It helps if the crème also contains
vitamin C; this ingredient helps strengthen skin tone, improving the elasticity
that male organ skin requires for best functioning.
