Folliculitis Can Cause Itchy Male Organ Problems Some men can’t seem to keep their hands out of their pants, but it’s not necessarily due to an overactive sensual drive. No, some men simply have a very itchy male organ, the kind that demands it be scratched. As male organ health issues go, an itchy male organ is one of the very most common – and one of the potentially most embarrassing. Sometimes that itchiness may be due to a reaction to something a guy ate, but there can be other causes as well, such as folliculitis. A follicle issue As the name seems to imply, folliculitis has something to do with hair follicles. Specifically, when a person has folliculitis, it means that some portion of their hair follicles has become inflamed. Usually that inflammation occurs because of either a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection; in some instances, ingrown hairs may bring about the inflammation. When a man has folliculitis, little red pinpoint dots appear, sometimes all over his body, sometimes isolated to one or a few areas (which can include the member, sack, and surrounding area). These dots are bumps, somewhat raised, and there’s often a small drop of pus also associated with some or all of the bumps. There may be only a few bumps or there may be dozens. Each of those bumps corresponds to a singular infected hair follicle. In addition to their red appearance, they have something else in common with each other: they tend to be very itchy. So when folliculitis strikes the midsection, an itchy male organ often results. Sometimes the bumps can also create a burning sensation, which is unpleasant anywhere but especially so on the manhood. The skin of the surrounding areas is also likely to be very tender. Sometimes various forms of folliculitis are known by different names, such as hot tub rash or barber’s rash.
