Three Causes of Irritated Foreskin and How to Fix It
by John Dugan OwnerThe foreskin is that little
extra something that keeps a man’s member warm at night. However, these extra
few folds can cause a lot of issues. Red, irritated foreskin can feel like a
hot poker. Men who are not circumcised, the majority of men, do have a few
other concerns to keep in mind when it comes to their trouser snake. Foreskin
problems like posthitis, phimosis, and paraphimosis are serious issues that can
cause a man a lot of pain and suffering, and in some cases, can cost him his
member. Let’s talk about that extra flap of skin that some men have and how to
identify any foreskin problems before they get out of hand, and even better,
prevent them from happening in the first place.
Irritated Foreskin Cause #1:
Posthitis
Posthitis is an inflammation
of the foreskin exclusively. It presents not only as red and inflamed, which
additional symptoms that can include dryness, tenderness, discharge from under
the foreskin, itchiness, a funky odor, thickened skin, and phimosis. It can be
caused by a host of things such as yeast infection, fungal infections like jock
itch, and partner transmitted infections, which can include syphilis, herpes,
gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV, chancroid, herpes, and trichomoniasis.
Treatment options include
antibiotics, steroid creams, and antifungal ointments, which have been shown to
reduce symptoms and attack the infection. See a doctor for a diagnosis.
Irritated Foreskin Cause #2:
Phimosis
Phimosis is an ailment
wherein foreskin cannot be withdrawn or pulled back from the head of the
member. Phimosis can be caused by a few different things which may include:
- Irritation or redness of
the foreskin and head as a result of poor hygiene
- Bacterial, fungal, or
viral infection of the head or foreskin
- Scarring caused by
aggressively retracting a child’s foreskin early on
Phimosis treatment depends
on the severity of the condition. If an infection caused it, a doctor will
prescribe either oral or topical medication contingent on the type of infection
it is. For men with a tight foreskin, a daily exercise of light retraction and
steroid cream can make foreskin easier to pull back with time. For men who
experience chronic phimosis and for whom no other treatments work, circumcision
may be recommended.
Irritated Foreskin Cause #3:
Paraphimosis
Paraphimosis is triggered by
swelling of the foreskin or the head of the member. This inhibits the ability
of the foreskin going back in place after being retracted. Reasons for
paraphimosis may include infection, genetically tight foreskin, injury,
retracting the foreskin too forcefully, or leaving the foreskin withdrawn for
too long.
This is a very dangerous
condition, so seeking medical help quickly is vital. Paraphimosis can restrict
circulation to the member, which can lead to male organ tissue death, or the
surgical removal of some or all of a man’s member.
Preventing Irritated Foreskin
Some foreskin problems are
avoidable. With these tips, a man can keep irritated foreskin problems
away. Wear loose cotton underwear and change them daily (more if
needed). Practice safe intimacy to avoid partner transmitted infections and
other infections like UTIs and yeast infections.
Practice good genital health
by cleaning the member, foreskin and all, regularly and thoroughly with warm
water and a gentle cleanser. Retract the foreskin gently and wash between every
fold of skin carefully. Rinse well and then air dry.
For extra protection against
irritated foreskin, apply a specially formulated genital health
creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically
proven safe and mild for skin) to keep the genital healthy and strong.
This crème harnesses the power of vitamins A and C to fight off
infection-causing bacteria, while vitamin B promotes cell regeneration.
Together, they create a creme that restores and protects the member, keeping it
vital and invigorated for years to come.
