Rash on genital area

by Windmill438, Sep 11, 2009 03:52PM
I have been diagnosed with atopic skin and easily get small rashes, eczema here and there on myself. The rashes are not serious and go away by their own after a while, except on certain spots. Recently I've noticed that after masturbating a lot I easily get this rash on my genital area, where the hair growth is. I've read that sweating can cause atopic dermatitis and I definately sweat alot while masturbating and also touch the area a lot. So, my question is that is it possible that the rash I have on my genital area is caused by my atopic skin and my self-pleasure activities?

Hello,
The rashes seem to be related to atopic skin and eczema. Atopic allergy is a type of immediate hypersensitivity in humans resulting from spontaneous sensitization. Wash the affected areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
