Avoid DIY **** Itch Remedies

08.02.2019 · Posted in Health Articles, Men Articles

As male ***** health issues go, **** itch is one of the less serious – but also one of the more common. Let’s face it, most guys (probably every guy) would rather have a bad case of **** itch than a social disease any day. Since **** itch is something that occurs frequently – many men get it and many men get it many times – lots of guys think they can get rid of it by DIY fixes. And while there are some really good over-the-counter treatments for **** itch, there also are some DIY home remedies that are better to avoid.

About **** itch

Everybody talks about **** itch, but not everyone really knows just what it is. And it’s hard to come up with remedies if a person doesn’t know what he’s trying to treat.

First, **** itch is a fungal infection that is medically known as tinea cruris; sometimes it is called ringworm, after the ring-like rash that it produces. It’s most often found on the manhood, sacks, inner thighs, or buttocks. And it’s called **** itch because it is commonly found among people who sweat a lot in the midsection while engaging in athletic activity.

The rash created by **** itch is a red, raised area, circular or half-moon shaped. The inner portion of the rash may be flaky or scaly, and the outer rim may be raised. As the name implies, there’s also a lot of itching associated with the condition, and sometimes it may also cause a burning or stinging sensation.

DIY remedies

If a guy takes a look on the internet, he may come up with any number of suggested DIY home remedies for **** itch. But many of these are either useless or may actually exacerbate and worsen a man’s **** itch.

For example, mentholated cream is often suggested as a cure, but this is more likely to actually worsen the burning associated with **** itch. Many people with psoriasis say just use that same steroid cream that is used for psoriasis, but in fact it won’t help at all; psoriasis is not a fungal infection, so something that attacks fungus is needed. For similar reasons, apple cider vinegar or cocoa butter won’t make the **** itch go away, either.

Ove-the-counter treatments specifically recommended for **** itch are a much better way to go. But sometimes seeing a doctor and getting a prescription may be the best route to take. That way, the doctor can also positively identify the condition; in some cases, what one thinks is **** itch may turn out to be something else entirely.

Best of all is preventing **** itch in the first place, and these handy tips are a step in that direction.

– Wash frequently, especially during summer months or when engaged in heavy physical activity. Cleaning away the fungi before they can take hold is a great option.

– Change underwear often. Fungi love warm, moist places for growing. The mid-section is already warm, and sweat adds the moisture. Changing underwear, especially on hot days or days with lots of physical activity, is necessary.

– Use clean towels. Don’t borrow your buddy’s towel unless it has been freshly laundered, as the fungus can be carried from the towel to a new body.

While not one of the remedies for **** itch, it is beneficial to regularly use a top-drawer male ***** health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). **** itch gets worse the more one scratches it, so a crème with moisturizing agents like shea butter and vitamin E can help to decrease some of that urge to itch. It also helps if the member skin itself is strong and healthy, so find a crème with alpha lipoic acid. This potent antioxidant helps fight free radicals that can damage and weaken manhood skin.
