The
skin of a man’s male organ rarely matches the skin on the rest of his body; in
lighter-skinned men, the manhood skin may be darker, while darker-skinned men
may have a lighter-hued tool. In fact, in a single man, the color of the skin
may be differentiated between the head and the shaft – and all of these
variations are perfectly normal. However, when discolored manhood skin
develops, most guys are naturally alarmed and anxious to find the cause. In
most cases, manhood discoloration is nothing to worry about – see below for a
description of some common causes. While it cannot always be prevented or
reversed, the right approach to male
organ care can help
men to maintain skin that is healthy, smooth and appealing, regardless of its
coloration.
1) Self-pleasuring- The average male begins stroking
himself somewhere around the onset of puberty and continues the practice
throughout his lifetime. This means that the manhood skin is subject to an
extreme amount of friction, which can lead to lightening or darkening of the
skin color, depending on its original coloration. Unless a man is willing to
forgo his solo sessions, it is likely that his skin will be affected to some
degree; however, this can be mitigated somewhat by using a personal lubricant
and a light touch, rather than dry rubbing using a chokehold.
2) Bruising- Aggressive self-pleasuring, a
particularly rambunctious partner encounter, or an impact injury can all cause
bruising of the manhood skin – the result of broken capillaries under the
skin’s surface This can be characterized by dark bluish or purple blotches that
may fade to a green or yellow hue as the bruise heals. Bruising is usually
superficial, but if it is accompanied by swelling or ongoing pain, a check with
a doctor is in order. Applying cool compresses directly after an injury, and
then gentle heat in the following days, may reduce some of the appearance of
bruising.
3) Vitiligo – This skin disorder is something of a
mystery, but it appears to be linked to an autoimmune issue. It can occur in
both light-skinned and dark-skinned individuals and is characterized by a loss
of pigmentation. Men with vitiligo may have patches of completely white skin on
various parts of the body, including on the male organ. The condition is not
curable or reversible, but it is benign and in no way contagious. Men who are
self-conscious about the issue may simply explain the condition to their partners
and assure them that it is not a disease or communicable.
4) Lichen
planus- Another skin disorder that is not
well-understood, lichen planus is an itchy skin rash that appears as purplish
bumps that may have white striations. It can affect the male organ of men who
have the condition, but it is generally not itchy on this part of the body. It
is not contagious, and while there is no medical cure, it typically clears up
on its own within a year or two.
5) Corticosteroid
creams- Frequent use of cortisone creams – often
applied to treat rashes and itchy skin – has been shown to result in
discoloration and striations of the dermal tissue. To avoid this problem, it is
important to use no more than the recommended amount, especially on the manhood
skin, and to use it for no longer than the recommended time period. For certain
conditions, alternate treatments may be equally effective without the risk of
discoloration, so a doctor’s advice may be helpful in this respect.
Attention
to male organ health and ongoing care
While
the issues described above are generally benign, any changes in the color or
texture of the skin should be brought to the attention of a doctor to rule out
any more serious conditions.
In
addition, men should exercise appropriate hygiene and daily care. Cleansing
properly every day can help reduce the risk of disease; and adding a male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) that contains high-end emollients such
as Shea butter may see an improvement in the overall tone and texture of their
skin.
