The skin around the genitals is sensitive and needs gentle care. Here are a few simple tips to keep it healthy:
-
Wash gently: Use plain water or a mild emollient like aqueous cream or Diprobase instead of regular soap. Apply it before showering to create a protective barrier, and rinse thoroughly.
-
Let it breathe: Your skin needs air! At home—especially in the evening or while sleeping—try skipping underwear or wear loose cotton pajamas to allow airflow.
-
Choose the right fabric: Cotton underwear is best, as it lets your skin breathe. Avoid synthetic materials that trap heat and moisture.
-
Use gentle laundry products: Wash your underwear with non-biological detergents to avoid irritation.
Taking these small steps can go a long way in keeping your skin comfortable and irritation-free.
