Each representative of the stronger sex is proud of his masculine strength, trying not to blunder during intimacy with his beloved woman. But sometimes it is necessary to refuse such a desirable manifestation of feelings for delicate reasons: for example, it is embarrassing to bare if the genitals are strewn with strange pimples or spots. What are these rashes, where do they come from and where to go for help? We will look for answers to all intimate questions that concern the male population.
Harmless reasons
Sometimes a rash on the genitals in men appears due to basic hygiene. Fixing the problem is pretty easy. In order not to spoil a romantic date, make a habit of washing every morning: for this purpose you can use soap or shower gel. If the constricting effect of these products causes discomfort, get a special liquid for intimate hygiene with a masculine aroma. Use the product also before intimacy: a woman will appreciate the pleasant smell and cleanliness of the body, which will demonstrate that you respect the other half and try to make your intimate relationship comfortable.
Red rashes on the genitals in men can be a consequence of wearing poor-quality or too tight underwear. In this case, you need to reconsider your wardrobe and stock up on pants made of natural fabrics that do not put pressure on manhood and do not cause severe friction on the skin. Of course, it is good if the appearance of acne is associated with these reasons. Indeed, in some cases, they are one of the signs of a sexually transmitted disease or fungal infection.
Candidiasis
A fairly common problem. During thrush, a rash appears, which groups on the skin into separate foci and develops into small spots. A severe itching, burning sensation, a white curdled film that hides noticeable erosion appears. The causes of infection are different: taking antibiotics, experienced stress, decreased immunity. The fungus lives in the body of each person, so emotional experiences or past illnesses can provoke its activation. In addition, you can catch candidiasis from a sexual partner: women get sick much more often due to the characteristics of the body.
Propagation of fungi causes balanoposthitis. At first, the head becomes inflamed, after a rash appears. On the genitals in men, it affects not only the penis itself, but also the portion of the inner surface of the foreskin. Candidiasis balanoposthitis develops not only because of the fungus. It is also caused by various viruses and bacteria. Sometimes the reason lies in the disruption of the endocrine system or diabetes, which affects a man.
Herpes and papilloma virus
These sexually transmitted diseases are another cause of rashes on the male genital organs. Herpes, for example, has the unpleasant feature of appearing at the most inopportune moment. At first, a red spot on the genitals begins to bother: it itches and gradually turns into a bubble in which there is fluid. Bursting, it develops into a painful ulcer. Herpes can be single or massive. In the fight against infection, special creams and gels are used, as well as tablets.
Herpes pops up when immunity decreases. An exacerbation also occurs if another infection enters the body - the human papillomavirus. It causes the appearance on the genitals of small formations similar to warts. These are papillomas or condylomas. Sometimes their color coincides with the skin tone or is bright red, brown. Papillomas are flat and convex, sometimes they have the shape of a mushroom: the cap of the wart grows on a small stalk. They must be removed surgically, otherwise with age they will turn into huge growths, itchy and bloody.
Treponema pallidum
Remember that the most serious sexually transmitted disease - syphilis - also begins with a banal rash. A chancre appears on the penis - a small seal resembling an ulcer. Its bottom is shiny and flat, the edges are dense. The causative agent is a white treponema. Chancre is formed one and a half weeks after it enters the body, but if a person has strong immunity, then it can take up to 3 months before he notice an ulcer. Over time, it disappears, and the patient naively thinks that everything went by itself, but this is not so. A rash appears on the body: on the genitals, men do not have it, but it generously covers the chest, face, palms and soles.
Over time, traces similar to bites of midges merge into circles or ovals: they either disappear or reappear over several years - the secondary period of syphilis. In the third phase of the disease, a person discovers tubercles on the genitals that break up, forming small ulcers. At the fourth stage, the patient's bone tissue is affected : he becomes disabled. It is not worth bringing to this, therefore, at the first manifestations of infection, you should run to the clinic.
What to do?
Rashes on the genitals in men cause shame among the stronger sex, so they are in no hurry to consult doctors. And this is a big mistake. You should overcome shyness, come to an appointment with a dermatologist or venereologist as soon as you find strange formations on the genitals. A specialist during the examination and with the help of tests will identify the pathogen and prescribe qualified treatment. No folk remedies can correct the situation: you will only aggravate it. As a result, the disease will cause a number of complications and become chronic. Be sure to undergo examinations with a partner, you must also be treated together, otherwise there will be no effect. Just in case, warn other women with whom you have had contact over the past six months.
If the rash on the genitals in men is allergic in nature, is a consequence of poor hygiene or tight linen, then it is only necessary to exclude the factor causing the formation. To avoid such troubles in the future, mothers should teach their sons to take a daily shower from childhood and constantly monitor the purity of their genitals.
