Skin tags may form in a variety of different locations. They can even appear in and around the skin of the pubic region. For those that are not circumcised, tags may form in and around the penis, and even around the groin area. This is not uncommon, but it doesn’t usually hurt. However, if the skin hurts, if there are tags that are painful, clamps, clusters, or any sort of tags that are around the pubic region, there may be a bigger issue at hand.
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are benign, outer growths that appear on the dermis. They are usually not painful, they do not come with discharge, do not bleed, and do not cluster. That’s right, they usually don’t come up in groups, which is why seeing them on the groin can be quite disconcerting at first. There are some root causes that may be the main culprit of this problem, including friction of the dermis. When the skin rubs against itself, you’ll find that a rush of collagen gets pushed through, forcing a small growth to appear on top of the skin. These are skin tags. Tags form and raise up wherever skin rubs against itself.
However, there are some medical issues that can contribute to this issue, including that of sexually transmitted infection. If you have tags on the penis, they may actually be warts, or lesions, and they could be associated with sexually transmitted illness overall. That’s something that you’re going to need to consider as a reality if you do in fact see issues along the penis, or skin around the pubic region.
Circumcision and Removal of Crust Clamps and Clusters
One issue that may be problematic is that of uncircumcised penises. There are millions of men that do not have this occur in youth, and it can be problematic later on. Men that do not have circumcision must rigorously clean the penis by pulling back the skin and using soap and water. Now, if a day or two is missed, there may be caking and discharge that comes from dirt and grime under the skin. That can lead to clusters of skin tags around the head of the penis, yeast infection, and even worse problems.
Alleviating this issue is a matter of getting a circumcision. This is not something that can be done at home. Performing a circumcision requires a steady hand, and a doctor’s office. They will cut the foreskin of the penis, then apply stitches to the remaining skin. Local anesthetic will be administered, and the foreskin will get cut all the way around the head of the penis, taking away all the excess.
Once this is done, and the healing process has occurred, the head of the penis will not have a skin sheath and will be open to the air. This will alleviate skin irritations, skin tags, and other problems that only occur when the skin covers the penis. When a man is not circumcised, the skin that covers the head of the penis has a mucous membrane, which needs to be cleaned in order to avoid infections, etc. Circumcision can alleviate the wetness, and tag issue, but will still need cleaning.
