Five Causes of Itchy Member and How to Get Relief
There's nothing quite like being in a deep conversation with
someone and then seeing them scratch their junk. However, scratching is
sometimes necessary, because the itch can strike at any time and with great
intensity. So, what makes a man's privates itch and how can he prevent it? Here
are some common causes of an itchy member and how to get much-needed relief and
avoid those uncomfortable moments when the crotch is creeping.
1) Poor Grooming Habits –Think about all the dirt, debris, bacteria, sweat, and emissions
that can collect in the lap region. Now let it all marinate for day or more. If
a man isn’t washing thoroughly and regularly, that funk is going to do more
than smell. It’s going to get infected, peel the skin, and cause massive
itching and pain.
2) Contact Dermatitis – When a man comes in direct contact with an allergen or irritating
substance it can cause itching because it activates the histamines in the body.
Things like detergents, soaps, latex, and medications can all cause a reaction.
Many times, private area itches are additionally accompanied by a rash. If the
itch is minor, cleansing the area and treating it with a cortisone crème may
help. If it is more serious, seek medical attention.
3) Warts – This is a partner transmitted disease caused by a
viral infection. Warts often show up on the head, sheath, shaft, and entire
private area. Warts may also have a discharge which causes the itch. See a
medical professional or clinic ASAP for treatment.
4) Candida –
Anyone can get a Candida yeast infection; it’s not just for the ladies. Candida
normally occurs in the skin and mucous membranes; however, when it overgrows,
it causes uncomfortable and annoying symptoms such as itching, rash, swelling,
and lumpy white discharge. While not a partner transmitted disease, it can be
transmitted during intimate contact. What causes thrush most times is overuse
of antibiotics, diabetes, poor circulation, and immunosuppression. See a doctor
for treatment.
5) Crabby Downunder – Commonly known as “crabs,” pubic lice are tiny little parasites
that attach themselves to pubic hair. They are spread by intimate contact with
an infected person. While itching is the main symptom, other symptoms include
bloodstains and black dots, which are the “crab” feces being left behind. For
immediate relief see a doctor, or if one is not available, use an
over-the-counter lotion or anti-lice shampoo in the interim.
Getting Relief from an Itchy Member
No matter the cause of the problem, it is always a bad idea to
scratch at the delicate male skin – it’s just like chicken pox that way. When
the skin is scratched, it can leave tiny tears in the outer dermal layer, which
can not only make the situation worse but can also welcome bacteria and other
organisms into the skin.
Instead of itching, men who suffer from male organ itches should
wash the area gently to remove any substances which may be causing irritation.
Be sure to cleanse with a mild cleanser like baby wash and rinse thoroughly
with lukewarm water as hot water can also further irritate the skin. Avoid
using body wash or harsh soap on the irritated private area as it may be too
tender and cause more damage.
After cleansing the skin, apply a specially formulated male organ
health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has
been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to the male organ.
These nutrient-rich crèmes have a natural base, like Shea butter, that
moisturizes and soothes itchy skin once applied. The addition of vitamins such
as A, B5, C, D, and E also bring rejuvenating and restoring properties to
sensitive skin, leaving it soft and irritation-free and less susceptible to
drying and itchiness in the future.
