Posted by John Dugan on Monday, March 30, 2020, In : Health 

One really needs to tip one’s hat to gym rats, those incredibly dedicated guys who spend hours at the gym to hone and perfect their physiques while so many of us opt instead to sit on the couch and exercise by lifting and pressing on the TV remote or the computer mouse. While some gym enthusiasts may go overboard, their attention to physical health - and, one assumes, penis health as well - is admirable. So for all those who make the gym their second home - as well as for those who are les...

Itchy Penis and Penis Rash: Is Sweat to Blame?

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, March 24, 2020, In : Men's Health 

An itchy penis can happen for a multitude of reasons, and so can a mild penis rash. In fact, these can happen so often, and then disappear so quickly, that it becomes commonplace for some men, and they never bother to figure out what might be causing the problem. That’s why they might be so surprised to learn that sweat - simple sweat, from working out or general exertion - can lead to an itchy penis and, in some cases, a rather severe penis rash.

Kidney Disease Can Cause an Itchy Penis

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, March 20, 2020, In : Men's Health 

Kidney disease is a serious issue with many potential consequences. It is not typically considered in the context of penis health issues, but in fact kidney disease can in many instances impact penis health. For example, any men with kidney disease may also find that it can dampen their sex drive and/or cause or contribute to erectile dysfunction. In comparison, the fact that kidney disease can be responsible for an itchy penis may seem of lesser consequence - but an itchy penis can be an an...

Penis Skin and Cortisone: A Tricky Combination

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, March 10, 2020, In : Men’s Issues 

When someone has itchy skin, they often reach for cortisone cream. This topical cream can work wonders for temporary itching, and so many men who have an itchy penis will reach for it before they try other things. That can be a problem, as cortisone creams can be bad for penis skin.

When a man has a rash, redness, or itchy penis symptoms, he needs to remember that the penis skin is very sensitive and thin. This means that what he can handle on, say, his arm or his leg, will have a differen...

Razor Burn Can Cause an Itchy Penis

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, March 6, 2020, In : Men’s Issues 

As a quick glance around the locker room may confirm, more and more men are manscaping nowadays. Whether it’s a total torso right-to-the-skin shave or just a neat-and-tidy trim of the pubic hair, it’s common now for men to take their razors and move below the neck nowadays.

There are so many potential reasons for an itchy penis. Most of those reasons are easily solved - for instance, itchy skin caused by a dry penis can be remedied with regular use of a penis health crème.
