When the private area itches, it can be very distracting and cause anxiety. To itch or not to itch – that is the question! This article will break down some causes of an itchy member and how to deal. 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.
