Those Male Organ Bumps May be MC, Not Warts

Socially-shared diseases are bad news, plain and simple. Even the “milder” ones are something a man tries to avoid. That’s why sometimes when a guy looks down at his privates and discovers he has male organ bumps, he may get a trifle tense and worried. After all, he thinks he has been so careful to practice good manhood care and now he thinks he has warts adorning his manhood. But here’s some good news: it may turn out that those supposed manhood warts are nothing more than molluscum contagiosum (or MC for short).

So what is MC?

MC is a very common dermatological condition that can occur at just about any place on the body – including the member and sacks. They tend to differ in appearance somewhat from other male organ bumps, as they look like a pimple with a little dent in the middle. (They have that appearance wherever they occur on the body, not just on the manhood.) This color tends to be fairly close to the skin color of the individual on whom they appear, although usually a little darker. Although many people refer to MC as “skin tags,” in fact skin tags are not the same as MC.

Like so many other things, MC is the result of a virus, which is obtained through contact with an affected individual. In almost all cases, MC is passed along through direct skin-to-skin contact. In rare cases, it is possible that a person contracts MC through wearing the unwashed clothing or using unwashed towels of an affected individual. It’s also not unusual for an affected person to spread the MC to other parts of his own body. For example, after scratching, if he touches an unaffected area, new MC may appear on that part of the body as well.

Benign

MC is a very benign condition (which is good news, of course). It may be accompanied by itchiness, which can be annoying, and scratching too frequently or too aggressively can in some cases lead to an infection. Otherwise there is little of physical consequence to worry about.

However, when MC takes the form of male organ bumps, it can have a negative impact on a man’s sensual life. For example, the bumps give the member a “diseased” appearance, making a partner less likely to engage in sensual activity. And with good reason: it’s quite easy for MC to spread through intimate contact.

But a man’s solo sensual pleasure may also be impacted. Because the friction required for self-pleasuring can irritate the MC, it can lead to infection. Even when it doesn’t, the intense and lengthy handling involved in self-stimulating may lead to a man spreading the MC to other parts of his body if he touches himself anywhere else after self-gratifying.

Men who have sensual activity while in the midst of an MC outbreak should definitely wear a rubber protective device – but even that may not prevent spreading the disorder. Abstinence may be called for.

Getting rid of MC

Most of the time, MC goes away of its own accord, but that may take many months. In some cases, doctors recommend topical application of special creams or preparations that can fight MC. Some of these are prescription and some are over-the-counter. In special cases, they may recommend surgical removal.

While the male organ bumps that accompany MC are distressing, it is still preferable to warts or more serious social diseases. Men can help protect against harm to the manhood by keeping its overall health at a high level and by using a first rate member health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Use a crème with alpha lipoic acid, a potent antioxidant that battles the free radicals that can cause harmful oxidative stress. Another hint: be sure the crème contains vitamin D, the “miracle vitamin” with proven benefits in fighting disease and supporting healthy cellular function.
