Smash that Male Organ Rash: How to Stop Scratching and Start Healing

Stop, breathe, and read. There are tons of reasons for a male organ rash and most of them aren’t the worst-case scenario that immediately pops into a man’s head. Many are completely innocent, and all are in a man’s control to prevent in the future. Here’s a look at what’s causing that inconvenient male organ rash, how to fix it, and how to avoid them in the future.

What’s Causing the Male Organ Rash Attack?

When it all gets red and scaly down below, many things could be at play. It could be as simple as too much activity in the region. Excessive lovemaking, especially if things have gone dry, can inflame the member and lead to broken, dry skin. The same can be said for overly aggressive self-pleasure as well. Speaking of love rashes, nearly 20 percent of all people are allergic to latex. Latex barriers could be to blame (but don’t worry, there are plenty of alternatives on the market!). It could also be a fungal infection, like jock itch. Fungus loves to snuggle into a man’s warm, humid places, like the genital region, and wreak havoc, causing an itchy, painful rash on the member. Sometimes plain old lack of hygiene is to blame. Smegma, the word that strikes fear in the hearts of many, will funk up the region and inflame skin (even make it peel) if a man isn’t keeping his Johnson clean. If it gets especially bad around the head of the member, it may be balanitis.

Finally, it could be a partner transmitted infection (PTI). Let’s be honest – it’s the first thing that comes to mind when men spy a male organ rash. PTIs which can manifest an itchy rash on the member include genital herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, genital warts, and syphilis. While each have their own accompanying symptoms, they all have male organ rashes in common.

How to Treat Male Organ Rashes

First things first, stop any and all non-essential contact with the member. That means no intimacy, solo-pleasure, or any other activities which could further irritate the area.

Next, the best way to start is to gently clean the member with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser (think baby wash). Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Pat drying is also allowed, but air drying may feel best on a red and hot-to-touch rash on the member.

Universally, cool compresses feel good no matter what the cause of the male organ rash. Create a cool compress by submerging a soft, clean washcloth in cool water, wring it out, and place directly on the member. When it stops being cool, repeat. While some men may think, “Hmmm…why don’t I just put an ice pack straight on my man meat?” it’s seriously not a good idea. For one, it’s too cold. Second, it can stick to the already traumatized skin resulting in more pain. Finally, it can damage the skin, which can lead to scar tissue down the road. Stay cool, literally.

Finally, for any reasons that require medical care or diagnosis, make an appointment immediately. It will only get worse if it’s not properly taken care of.

The Skinny on Preventing Male Organ Rashes

Male organ rashes can be 95 percent avoided with good member health care. Keep it clean and dry. Practice safe intimacy and get tested regularly if sensually active. Use a quality creme for all kinds of pleasure before friction gets intense. Also, practice some moderation when it comes to pleasure and clean up the goods after, every single time. Also, give the family jewels some room and air on a daily basis to avoid fungus or bacteria.

Finally, an outstanding way to promote member health and keep male organ rashes away is to moisturize the member daily. Using a specially formulated member health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) can transform genital skin from red and flaking to soft and smooth. These types of cremes are nutrient-rich and contain vitamins essential to genital health such as A, C, D, and E which have properties especially beneficial for treating rashes and keeping them away in the future.
