Avoid applying deodorant after shaving your balls – it might burn your sensitive, freshly-shaved skin. Can I put coconut oil on my balls? Yes! Coconut oil is a great option since it is naturally antifungal and antibacterial.
If you want to start moisturizing your balls, try to choose a soap that isn't harsh and irritating, such as a gentle cleansing bar that won't irritate the skin and offers moisturization while still removing dirt and oil. The Dove Beauty Bar ($19.97 for 20 bars, buy it here) is a good pick.
You can defeat ball stink, and as you've already surmised, moisturizing down there is going to help. Dry skin tends to smell worse, especially when you sweat. If you moisturize your balls, you get less bacteria and stress hormone buildup in your pores and skin, and that mitigates the smell.
Genitals are typically rather moist, so unless it is truly needed, don't bother. The best moisturizers to use would be anything all-natural and that has a lightweight texture. Anything heavier, like thicker creams or ointments, may cause too much moisture to gather in the area.
The darkening of testicles can be due to several causes such as pooling of blood, inflammation, skin infections, fungal infections, and some diseases which may lead to the formation of dark spots. The symptoms and treatment of the cause of darkening depends on the underlying disease of the condition.
Over time, testicles develop wrinkles due to changing temperatures - when it's warmer, the scrotum relaxes, and in colder conditions they contract.
Give your down-there area a chance to breathe and air out. Trimming and shaving reduce extra heat and sweat from hanging around which helps eliminate irritation and odor as well.
Secretion of hormones causes the production of extra melanin in the intimate area. It makes the private area skin darker. The skin in intimate parts gets darker as you grow up. However, the sudden and excessive darkening can be due to an underlying disease or infection.
If your scrotum looks or feels like it's full of fluid on one or both sides, you may have a hydrocele. A hydrocele may be caused by inflammation or injury but it's not usually painful.
With no blood, the testicle could die (or "infarct"). When the testes die, the scrotum will be very tender, red, and swollen. Often the patient won't be able to get comfortable. Any pain or discomfort in the testes is a sign to get medical help right away.
Another question was frequently asked, “Can I use IPL on my Balls?” It's a resounding NO. IPL is suitable for men's pubis and the bikini line areas. However, you shouldn't use IPL on your anus, inguinal, and testicular parts as these areas are very sensitive.
The testicles should feel smooth, without any lumps or bumps, and firm but not hard. You may feel a soft tube at the back of each testicle, which is called the epididymis. If you notice any changes or anything unusual about your testicles, you should see a GP.
For your testicles to produce sperm, they must be kept at just the right temperature. As a result, scrotum will change size to make sure the testicles stay at that right temperature. This happens without you even thinking about it.
Applying an ice pack to your scrotum can help reduce pain and swelling. Never put ice directly on your scrotum. Make sure to wrap the ice in a cloth. Other home remedies include, over-the-counter pain relievers, (e.g. – ibuprofen), and reduced activity.
Congenital undescended testes
Usually doctors cannot find the cause; however, some hormone and genetic disorders can cause undescended testes. In babies born early (premature babies), the testes may not have had time to move down into the scrotum by the time the baby is born.
It is normal for the color of your private area to be darker than the rest of your skin. In fact, many fair-skinned women have purplish or brownish labia (vaginal lips), while those with darker skin tones have a lighter vulva (external part of the genitals).
Wait...can coconut oil lighten the pubic area? It can! Though usually used in conjunction with lemon juice, coconut oil can lighten skin when mixed or independently. For the best results, we recommend mixing with lemon juice.
Altering the appearance of the vulva for cosmetic reasons can be dangerous. Vaginal bleaching may cause pain and could result in adverse side effects. Medical organizations, such as the ACOG, do not support female genital cosmetic procedures due to the risks and a lack of evidence for their safety and effectiveness.
Yes it is perfectly normal for the scrotum to be hairy. Yes, men usually develop hair on their scrotum during puberty. That's the sac that tye testicles are encased. No need to be concerned, it's normal for boys to get that around 13 to 15, but it can vary.
