When Male Organ Rash Comes from Pityriasis
Lichenoides

• Just as a man may be worried about how an
  exposed skin rash can make his face or arms look
  (and about what message such a rash may send to a
  potential sensual partner), so is he concerned
  when a male organ rash rears its ugly head. Often
  the rash is due to member health issues,
  sometimes including the ghastly presence of a
  social disease. But in other cases the rash is
  simply a dermatological issue, a skin rash that
  just happens to appear on the manhood. That can
  be the case with pityriasis lichenoides, a skin
  eruption that is little-known.

About pityriasis lichenoides

• As is often the case, the name pityriasis
  lichenoides makes it sound more formidable and
  dangerous than it actually is. Pityriasis is
  from a Greek word meaning bran, and it refers
  to skin that is flaky or scaly. Lichenoides
  refers to the physical appearance of the rash.
•  
• Typically, this rash first presents as bright
  red oval spots, sometimes flat, sometimes raised
  like a bump. They can vary in size from 2 mm to
  10 mm in diameter. But the spots change, turning
  into blisters with fluid inside, and then into
  crusty ulcers. The spots often appear in clusters
  as an identifiable rash, but sometimes there can
  be loners that occupy an area of skin fairly
  far away from other spots.

A trio

• There are three forms of pityriasis
  lichenoides, all of which are rare. One form is
  considered serious. The forms are listed below,
  referred to in the acronym form by which they are
  frequently known.
•  
• - PLEVA is the one most likely to cause a male
  organ rash, as it tends to occur on the manhood
  in about 10 of cases (usually while also
  appearing elsewhere on the body). The rash may
  cause itching or a slight burning situation, but
  often it has no noticeable effects. Without
  treatment, the rash can last for 6 weeks to about
  18 months, usually coming and going several times
  during the lengthier time frames. PLEVA sometimes
  leaves behind scarring or some skin discoloration.

• - PLC is somewhat more common than PLEVA, and
  less likely to occur as a male organ rash (though
  still possible). It is milder than PLEVA, with
  the spots less noticeable and rarely any
  subsequent scarring.
•  
• - FUMHD is the rarest form and considered quite
  serious. The spots tend to appear as red or black
  ulcers, and there are usually other symptoms,
  including a high fever, severe stomach pain,
  diarrhea, pains in the joints, interference with
  breathing and variations in mental state. A
  doctor should be seen right away.

Treatment

• PLEVA and PLC are self-resolving, but because
  it can take months, many people prefer to have a
  doctor help the process along. Antibiotics help
  to shorten the length of time the disease is
  present, and steroids can help to make the rash
  go away. FUMHD requires hospitalization for
  treatment.
•  
• Although a member rash can be off-putting,
  pityriasis lichenoides is not known to be
  contagious.

• Pityriasis lichenoides is fortunately a rare
  source of a male organ rash. The itching and
  discomfort associated with many a male organ rash
  can often be alleviated if a man regularly uses a
  superior member health crème (health
  professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is
  clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Even
  when a rash is not present, an itchy member is
  often due to skin that is too dry. Therefore,
  take care when selecting a crème to be sure it
  contains both a high-end emollient (such as
  natural Shea butter) and a powerful hydrator
  (such as vitamin E). In addition, the presence of
  vitamin C in the crème is advised. Vitamin C is a
  prime component of collagen, a tissue in the body
  that gives skin its tone and elasticity.
