What to do if the genital skin cracks

The genitals are an organ found in both men and women, and they belong to the lower body of the human body. Generally speaking, we should be extra careful with this area because it is relatively fragile, and there are many diseases occurring here, including cracks. Cracks are particularly troublesome, and the genitals affect our fertility, so cracks here should be paid special attention to. So what should we do if the genital skin cracks?

It may be that the foreskin is too long, causing excessive moisture down there. You can try washing the lower body with clean water, and clothes also need to be washed in time, especially socks and underwear. Do not wash them together. Washing them together will have mold and cause skin damage. If the condition is serious, try using clotrimazole ointment. If it does not get relief, go to the hospital immediately.

Male genital cleaning: The most prominent part of the male external genitalia is the penis, which has a thin and movable skin. The skin of the penis is folded into a double layer at the penis, called the foreskin. Before the age of 7, the foreskin is long enough to completely cover the glans penis and the external opening of the urethra. As puberty develops, the penis increases in size and length, the foreskin retracts, and the glans penis is exposed in adulthood. For those with phimosis or foreskin that is too long, the sebaceous glands in the foreskin will secrete a white secretion with a strange smell. It is not easy to be discharged and will become smegma after long-term accumulation. In addition, the retention of urine drops or semen will easily lead to the growth of bacteria, causing inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin, and itching. If you do not pay attention to cleaning, in addition to causing pain during sexual intercourse and adhesion of the foreskin and glans, it will also hinder the sexual life of the couple and may even cause penile cancer. According to statistics, more than 90% of penile cancer is caused by phimosis or foreskin.

In addition, due to the long-term stimulation of smegma, if it is not cleaned properly, the defense function of local skin tissue will be reduced and it will be easy to be infected by infectious pathogens. It can be seen that it is very important for men to develop the habit of cleaning their external genitalia. When taking a bath, use your hands to pull the foreskin back to the glans and remove the accumulated dirt and sebum. Because the inner layer of the foreskin is thinner and smoother than the outer layer,

It is sensitive to chemical cleaners, so when cleaning the foreskin and glans, just rinse it with clean water once a day. If you use soap or shower gel to clean your body, but don't rinse off the foam, many people will experience an allergic reaction in their foreskin and glans, and feel uncomfortable. In case inflammation is caused by dirt accumulation between the foreskin and the glans, you can soak and scrub it with a special vulva disinfectant and cleansing solution. In serious cases, you should consult a specialist.
