Some itchy male organ triggers are easy to spot. If a man gets bitten by a bug and then develops an urgent need to scratch, for example, he likely knows just what happened and what to do about it. But there are some itch-producing substances that are a little harder to identify. Latex barriers are a great example. These covers can help prevent pregnancy and some types of social diseases, but some men develop rash-like symptoms when they use products made of latex. Could allergies be the cause of an itchy manhood, and are special male organ care steps required? For some men, the answer is yes. For others, things are a little more complicated.

True Allergies

Latex is made from the sap of a rubber tree. Each molecule is stuffed with proteins, and some people who spend a lot of time around products made of latex can develop a sensitivity to those proteins. People most susceptible to developing a latex sensitivity include those who:

• Work in doctor's offices, hospitals or dental offices
• Undergo frequent surgeries
• Work in factories that manufacture latex products

Since these people have spent so much time around latex, and their bodies have become sensitive to the ingredients, they can develop intense reactions anytime they use latex protection.

Some people with this kind of sensitivity have allergic symptoms within minutes following latex protection use. But others develop symptoms hours after the play is over and the barrier is removed.

Hidden Irritants

While people who have a true allergy to latex often develop itchy manhood symptoms, some men are sensitive to the other components that make up barrier protection devices. They might also have itching, pain and rashes, but it's not the latex that's bothering them.

Some barriers, for example, are equipped with a substance that disables a man's seed. Others come with chemically-infused flavors. Still others are packed full of lubricant. Any or all of these chemicals could be very irritating to sensitive manhood skin, and men who use these products might walk away with sensitive nether regions. They might blame latex when the true culprit lies elsewhere.

Finding a Solution

Since there are so many components to barrier protection, it can be hard for men to do the detective work alone. A doctor can be a big help, especially if a man walks into an appointment with a sample of the irritating product and with a rash in full bloom. This gives the doctor a great deal of information to work with, and the testing that follows can be a lot more helpful as a result.

Men who have had a reaction just once can also shop around for different barrier products that might not be so irritating. Products made of synthetic materials might be a good choice, as well as products that don't contain zippy flavorings or intense anti-seed substances. Doing a few experiments at home could help a man to find a product that works, and the testing period is likely to be fun and exciting, too. (Note: Make sure the barrier of choice protects against both pregnancy and partner-transmitted diseases – not all do.)

Men who do have itchy skin can also benefit from paying attention to overall manhood health. Adding in a male organ health cream (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) could be a good first step. These products contain vitamins that assist damaged skin in healing, and the softening agents in each application can help skin to stretch more easily. Skin that moves well has fewer cracks and crevices for irritating products to lodge in, and that might mean fewer itchy manhood episodes in the future. Quality creams lack perfumes and other irritating agents, so they're perfect for sensitive male organ skin.
