Many of you might find this problem very embarrassing and it may impede not only your sexual life but also other regular activities. This happens because the pimples on your scrotum or testicles could itch a lot or even be painful. The causes for the pimples are innumerable and they include folliculitis, angiokeratoma, a sexual transmitted disease or even testicular cancer. However, the most frequent causes of the pimples are poor shaving methods and ingrown hairs and in the following text you’ll learn how to get rid of them when they appear on the scrotum or testicles.
What can you do to get rid of the pimples?
Wash well
This can be your starting point, especially when it comes to dealing with such a delicate problem. Summer is the season when you are specifically prone to getting the pimples on your scrotum or testicles because of all the sweat that causes further inflammations. How does this occur? The skin pores on these privates areas can easily get ‘’clogged’’ not only by sweat but also dirt and dead skin cells, making a perfect environment for breakouts. That is why you need to wash it thoroughly and regularly so as to prevent the sweat to cause break-outs.
If you take a shower at night …
Many people like to have a nice, relaxing night shower after a long day at work or a demanding work-out. While you are at it, you can use some antibacterial creams made purposefully for this part of the body. For example, you can use Lotrimin which is primarily made for jock itch (one of the causes for pimples) but it can also prove to be a great preventive method. There are also over-the counter antibacterial soaps in drugstores but make sure you consult the pharmacists.
Benzoyl peroxide
After you’ve tested yourself to this solution you can apply it in diluted form. You can also put a bit of tea tree oil along with this as it has strong antimicrobial properties. Originally, benzoyl peroxide is used to treat acne. Benzoyl peroxide is available in different forms: liquid, gel, cream and lotion.
If you are more of a morning shower person…
As you are starting your day with a refreshing shower you can use a bit of corn starch or baby powder. This will keep all the moisture away and deprive the bacteria of the prerequisites for their growth.
Close-fitting underwear is an absolute NO!
Tight undergarment might feel comfortable or better looking, but when you are trying to get rid of scrotal pimples this is definitely not what you want to wear. By wearing these clothes you’re at risk of getting contact dermatitis and potentially making the problem worse. Speaking of garment, you should not share your underpants with anyone as well as towels or any other hygienic tools you’re using for this body region.
Don’t touch it!
No matter how much the condition can rub you up the wrong ball, make you nervous and desperate, try not to scratch the pimples simply because they need the time to heal and go away and that’s not going to happen if you hurt them constantly. Moreover, you might have touched something dirty beforehand, so transmitting that to the already infected scrotum or testicles is not the smartest idea.
