my penis skin looks a bit red to me, is it normal to you? it gets a bit more red after masturbation, it does not hurt or itch, it’s just there.
Completely normal.
Make a list of everything that your penile skin comes into contact with: so for most males from sexual maturation onwards the list would be typically -
.
- soap, shower gel, hair shampoo when you shower
- for masturbation or sex: baby oil or lotion, skin cream or lotion, actual Lubes, something else used as a lube - many men actually apply things like hair shampoo to their penis in the shower to masturbate with
- skin cream or moisturiser to help hydrate the skin
.
If your list is something like this think about which of these actually need to come into contact with your penile skin - the simple equation is that the less things that contact penile skin the more healthy it is likely to be (unless you have a skin condition or major health problem impacting on your skin)
This is why many dermatologists and urologists will recommend that water is the best thing for cleaning the penis, then ensure it is fully dried so that no moisture remains.
I would suggest that if your skin is more red, that is, more irritated following masturbation, you have something in the ‘mix’ of what your penis is coming into contact with on a regular basis that is causing irritation.
Try excluding the things I have listed for you, AND anything else on your list, other than water of course.
Many men find that using natural plant extracts such as coconut oil (for skin not hair) and SHEA butter can benefit their penile skin - if you try using these regularly, a very small amount on the head and foreskin area of your penis is all that is required. Best time to apply these is after you have dried yourself after a shower.
And, even if you try all these changes and recommendations, do not expect to see an overnight change. Penile skin takes a great deal of time to become more healthy - so even after 6 to 8 months of doing as I suggest you may think not much different is happening. You need to persist, make these things your regularly practices then your penile skin will eventually become more healthy eventually
