At the first sight of bumps or sores on the male organ, it is natural for all kinds of unpleasant thoughts to come to mind, as guys think back to their last intimate partner and wonder if they’ve picked up some kind of contagious social disease. The good news is that in many cases, there is a less worrying reason, the bad news is that if a guy has to fear a social disease, he should be using protection. Male organ pimples (yes, acne affects the manhood, too), bumps and papules, which can be mistaken for viral warts and other more serious issues, often have a benign root cause and can be treated easily using over-the-counter lotions, cleansers and male organ vitamins and minerals. What causes blemishes and bumps on the male organ skin? • Male Organ Pimples – Just when guys think they’ve got a handle on the acne thing and have neutralized the blemishes that tend to appear on the face, chest and back, it turns out that pimples can occur on the male organ, too. As on the face, male member acne generally consists of small, red or white bumps and most often appear around the base of the manhood, although they can also show up on the head or length. Like other types of acne, male organ pimples are the result of bacteria in the follicles of the skin, causing inflammation and filling the follicles with a pus-like substance. Aside from the unattractive factor, male organ pimples are not actually dangerous, and they cannot be transmitted to an intimate partner. • Pearly Papules – Male organ bumps on the crown or under the sheath. For uncut men in particular it is not unusual to encounter small, firm, flesh-colored bumps on or around the head and under the length that may resemble a string of bubbles. These are naturally occurring and are generally nothing to worry about, although they are often mistaken as warts. Men who are worried about a skin condition of the male organ should seek medical attention without delay. How to get rid of male organ pimples Like acne on other parts of the body, male organ pimples can be stubborn but in general over-the-counter remedies such as salicylic acid will eventually do the trick. In addition, because pimples are caused by bacteria, keeping the skin clean and dry is essential in the treatment of male member pimples. Nourishing the skin of the male organ and private area with skin-friendly vitamins and minerals can also boost the body’s natural immune function and may speed up the healing process. While it can be tempting to try to pop blemishes on the male organ, especially when they are red and inflamed this is rarely a good idea. Pus can be expressed from pimples in this way, but this will not work on penile papules, and in any case, popping or pricking the blemishes can result in scarring and give rise to further infection. How to prevent unsightly male organ blemishes While not all breakouts can be prevented (hormones are a factor in the tendency to develop acne), guys can take measures to reduce the appearance of unsightly male member zits. For instance, shaving the male private area can cause ingrown hairs and irritation which may lead to acne breakouts. Instead try using a hair trimmer or scissors which may be easier on the skin. For guys who must shave, a new, sharp razor is the best bet. Secondly, keeping the area clean and dry is necessary, as bacteria tend to thrive in warm, moist areas. Treating the skin with natural anti-bacterial solutions such as vitamin A (or retinol, a common acne treatment and preventive) may help to keep acne away. Moisturizing the skin can prevent the drying out which can cause irritation of the follicles, leading to inflammation and acne breakouts. A specialized male organ health crème (most health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) which is applied directly to the male organ skin may help to provide the right combination of nutrients and moisturizers that are needed to keep the skin in balance, minimize the presence of harmful bacteria, and maintain clear, attractive skin.
