With heat comes sweat, and sweat in the groin region can lead to jock itch, a highly annoying rash caused by the moisture-loving fungus, tinea cruris. In an effort to prevent this rash, some guys choose to boost their penis care regimens by trimming the hedges, cutting down on heat in the area. While some guys might be happy with a minor haircut for the penis, others might choose to go with peni...

Pearly penile papules are small, white- or flesh-colored bumps that some men have around the ridge of their glans (penis head). Somewhat resembling a pearl necklace, the bumps form in one or several rows around the ridge. Papules pose no risk to penis health; they are not caused by sexual activity or hygiene issues. They are a normal anatomical variation that is believed to be present in anywhere from about 10% to nearly half of all men. The bumps, though harmless, tend to cause a lot of men...
