When someone hears the term “stretch marks,” they usually think of pregnant women and their round, full bellies. But stretch marks can happen anywhere on the body. Despite the best member care and attention possible, men might sometimes wind up with stretch marks in the midsection area, on the sacks and yes, even on the manhood skin.
The good news is that stretch marks aren’t a sign of any underlying medical condition. Sometimes they just happen. There is other good news as well; it is possible to reduce the appearance of stretch marks on member skin. Here’s what a man needs to know.
Why did the stretch marks appear?
Stretch marks are hallmarks of changing body size. Women often wind up with stretch marks after pregnancy, as their skin has stretched to its limits while growing a baby. Some people wind up with stretch marks after puberty, when they go through a growth spurt that puts inches and weight on their frame. And still others get stretch marks when they gain a few too many pounds.
So how does a man wind up with stretch marks on the manhood skin? When the skin stretches to accommodate member hardness, it might be enough to cause those tiny, painless tears in the dermis. Over time, those tears turn into the long, silvery trails of stretch marks.
But that doesn’t explain stretch marks on the sacks. In most cases, stretch marks in areas that aren’t normally stretched happen with very slight tears. For instance, a man who sits down in the wrong way and feels a slight tug on the sacks might immediately stand back up, shift things around, and sit back down. This happens so often that he might not even really register that he’s doing it. But sure enough, even that bit of discomfort from stretching can be enough to create a tiny stretch mark.
What to do about stretch marks
Men will be quite relieved to know that stretch marks don’t mean anything in terms of other medical problems. They are so natural and happen to so many people that several studies, as well as anecdotal evidence, point to stretch marks simply being an annoying part of everyday life.
But for a man, stretch marks on the member can mean much more than annoyance. A guy’s self-esteem might take a huge hit if he looks down to see unsightly stretch marks on his equipment. That can lead to social embarrassment, a hesitation to show his member to potential partners, and even problems with performing.
For men whose intimate life is negatively affected by stretch marks, there are a few options. A good dermatologist might offer certain therapies, such as laser therapy or microdermabrasion, which can lessen the appearance of stretch marks. In order to get the best results from any sort of treatment, a man should seek out help during the first six weeks or so, when the stretch marks are still reddish or purple in color. During this time, the skin is much more likely to heal.
One of the best ways a man can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks is through crèmes that are appropriate for the situation. One of those should be a top-notch male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). A man wants plenty of hydration to help ensure his manhood skin stays as smooth and supple as possible, which allows it more room to stretch during tumescence. A crème that contains not only Shea butter, but vitamin E as well can help a man keep the manhood skin as healthy as possible. Other nutrients, including retinol and alpha lipoic acid to help fight the signs of aging, can help keep the male organ skin handsome.
