Flaky, Dry Male Organ Skin – Sign of an Underlying Health Problem? By John Dugan
The appearance of flaky, dry male organ skin is understandably upsetting to most men. In the first place, dryness can lead to considerable discomfort, and it can make coupling or self-gratification painful. In the second place, it can be a source of embarrassment – what man wants to display himself to a partner when his manhood skin looks more like a sloughed-off snake skin? Worse yet, in some cases, flaking manhood skin indicates something more than a cosmetic issue. Certain underlying conditions can lead to dry, roughened skin, and addressing these is necessary for better male organ health as well as a man’s general well-being. www.man1health.com
Health issues that can lead to dry male organ skin • Balanitis. Balanitis actually refers to a range of problems that affect the male organ that are usually characterized by swelling, soreness, rash, reddened skin and a thick, smelly discharge. In addition, men with balanitis may develop dry, flaky manhood skin. This problem is often related to hygiene, and treatment is generally focused on keeping the male organ clean. • Diabetes. Men who have diabetes are prone to numerous ongoing health issues; among these, thrush – or yeast infection – is extremely common. Thrush is characterized by reddened manhood skin or a rash made up of small, red bumps; the skin tends to be extremely itchy and may develop long cuts or tears. Men who have frequent problems with thrush should talk to their doctor to determine whether diabetes or another underlying disease is to blame. www.man1health.com
Eczema. Also known as dermatitis, this condition is characterized by: dry skin; a raised, red rash; severe itching; and dryness. The condition can affect the whole body, including the skin of the male organ. One type of eczema (contact dermatitis) is triggered by an irritant in the environment and is treated by removing the irritant. Another type (atopic dermatitis) is believed to be an autoimmune disorder. The most common treatment for atopic eczema is the use of topical cortisone creams; in many cases, the treatment actually exacerbates the dry skin issue, so it is important to use a doctor-recommended moisturizer during the treatment process. www.man1health.com
Psoriasis. This is an autoimmune disorder that can affect the entire body. In essence, the immune system overproduces skin cells. The result is patches of raised, red skin that may develop a scaly or flaky surface and may be extremely itchy. Like eczema, psoriasis is often treated with topical cortisone creams, and extra TLC is needed to address the drying effects of these medications. • Socially transmitted infections. Last but not least, numerous socially transmitted infections can cause the appearance of dry, roughened skin on the male organ. Regular testing is strongly urged for all men who are socially active, and men who develop symptoms should abstain from all sensual contact until the cause has been identified and properly treated. www.man1health.com
Restoring healthy manhood skin • The most important step in restoring healthy, smooth male organ skin is always addressing any underlying health issues. Because many health conditions can present with similar symptoms, self-diagnosis is not recommended. Men should seek the advice of their physician in order to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem, and the doctor’s recommendations for treatment should be followed. • During the healing process, there are other steps that men can take to support the formation of new, healthy skin cells. For instance, drinking plenty of water can support hydration of the skin from the inside out and lend it a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is also recommended for healthy skin. www.man1health.com
In addition, men may want to supplement their personal care routine with a targeted male organ health crème(health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). Look for products that contain the powerful moisturizing duo of Shea butter and vitamin E; together, these ingredients provide immediate relief from itching and dryness, while locking in moisture to prevent further drying and discomfort. Ingredients such as vitamins A, C and D work together to heal damaged skin cells and promote healthy tissue growth. By taking advantage of these nutrients, men can enjoy skin that is smooth and responsive rather than dull, dry and uncomfortable. www.man1health.com
