Working out in the gym, that’s something that makes a guy feel good! Sure, there’s sweat and effort, but it’s worth it when a man looks in the mirror and sees the results. (And it helps that a guy’s partners like to see the results, too.) What is not so positive is when a guy ends up with a small rash on his penis from his visits to the gym. Since penis health should never be sacrificed for polishing yourself, it’s worth taking steps to prevent a penis rash at the gym (and treating it if one sneaks in anyway).
not unusual
It’s no wonder a penis rash sometimes occurs among gym rats (or even just the type who occasionally stops to exercise). Physical expenditure, whether from taking a yoga class, lifting weights, or spending time on a bike, creates sweat, and sweat stimulates bacteria. Also, some men with very sensitive penile skin may develop a rash just from exposure to too much heat. And of course, there is the problem of germs, bacteria, and fungi that other gym residents bring onto the premises.
Advice
So, the conditions are ripe for the development of rashes on the penis. What are some steps a man can take to help protect his penis?
– Use towels. These days, most gyms are generous in making available a large supply of fresh, clean towels, and guys need to use them. (If the gym does not provide towels, a man should make sure to bring his own.) Many men use these towels to clean the machines after they have been used, which is good; but they should also clean them before use, in case the old guy didn’t care so much or lost some sweaty residue.
But it’s not enough to use those towels when you’re on the gym floor. Make sure to wear them in the wardrobe as well. Lay one down on the bench before sitting down, especially after removing your clothes. And guys who like to relax naked in the sauna or steam room should definitely bring a towel and sit on it. With all his bare feet in the locker room, any man with athlete’s foot can accidentally spread his fungus across the area, and that’s the same fungus that causes jock itch.
– Be selfish. As kids we are taught that sharing is important, but it’s okay to be a little selfish when it comes to the gym. If a man lends a man a towel, he may come back with a fungus. Let a guy borrow that razor and the owner may regret it, especially if he decides to do a little manscaping with it later and ends up with a rash. Even something as seemingly harmless as sharing soap can be problematic; men with sensitive skin may develop an allergic reaction to the skin cells left in the cleanser. Never borrow another man’s boxer shorts or underwear; That’s just begging for a penis rash!
– Keep cool. A man should not start his workout in the same shirt and shorts that he wore to mow the lawn or rake leaves. Starting out in sweaty clothes, especially tight underwear and shorts, will increase the potential for a rash in the gym. Wear clean clothes for training and bring another set of clean clothes (including underwear) for after you shower, and be sure to dry the male parts well after you shower.
A man will also be less likely to get a penis rash at the gym if his manhood is kept in tip-top shape. Regular use of a top-notch penis health cream (Health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven to be gentle and safe for the skin) to be able to help. Definitely select a cream that includes vitamin A. Also known as retinol, vitamin A has strong antibacterial properties that attack bacteria that thrive in dark, hot and humid places. The cream should also include a combination of moisturizers, such as natural shea butter and vitamin E, which can retain the healthy moisturizing oils that prevent the skin from cracking and being prone to breakouts.
