Male genital herpes is one of the most common forms of std. sexually active men are more prone to contracting genital herpes as infected fluids are easily transmitted from one individual to another.
Symptoms :
Once the male genital herpes has reached a serious level, you would begin to see sores around your penis on either the tip or the shaft. At other times, you would notice sores or blisters located on other areas of the body such as buttocks, thighs, anus, urethra, scrotum etc. The sores start out as reddened blisters, which soon begin to swell with fluid, burst and give rise to sores. These cold sores and genital herpes itches are very painful and are the biggest contributor to genital herpes pain in men.
Contact spreading virus
Almost any kind of contact, where fluids can be exchanged can cause genital herpes infection to spread. Genital herpes men can easily spread when there are instances of kissing, oral sex such as fellatio, analingus, cunnilingus etc. or when there is anal sex or vaginal sex between partners.
In case of vaginal sex, if it is a case of male genital herpes, the woman can easily be contracting genital herpes because she is more prone to getting the genital herpes infection. Even a simple act of kissing can involve spread of saliva, which could contain the virus, especially if there are open sores inside the mouth.

Mens skin care
To begin with, men should realize that proper skin care need not take copious amounts of time. A few minutes a day is all that is necessary. Wash your facial skin with a mild soap. Do not use a deodorant or strong soap on your face. Use cold water to rinse. One or two times a week, wash your face with lukewarm water and a deep cleanser. Use a slightly wet washcloth, and gently work in the cleanser in a circular motion. Your pores will be cleaned out and your skin will feel better. Always pat your face dry with a clean towel. Apply a moisturizing lotion.
Everyday elements such as such and wind can dry your skin to the point that it hurts. To prevent this, wear sunscreen when you plan to be outdoors for an extended period of time. An SPF factor of 15 should suffice. Pick a sunscreen that has aloe and moisturizers in it. After being in the sun, apply a facial moisturizer that contains vitamin E. You can also apply this any time your face feels dry. Shaving is always rough on your face, so do it right. If you use a blade, make sure that your face is coated with a thin stream of hot water before applying shaving cream. Give the cream a few minutes to settle in. Use a sharp razor that has a double blade attached to it. Take your time. Rinse with cold water, not hot. Applying after shave cream such as after works better than applying liquid. If you use an electric razor, apply pre-shave lotion to enable your whiskers to stand up and keeps your shaver gliding easily across your face. It will also lessen the irritation and burn that comes with electric shaving.
Eating a balanced diet and staying active are obviously part of the equation. Double up on the fruits and vegetables, which often contain many anti-oxidants that can retard skin damage. Take a multi-vitamin that is rich in anti-oxidants and vitamin E. Do your best to avoid greasy, fried food. Substitute olive oil in place of butter when you cook. It is healthier and, as some claim, will allow your skin to retain its elasticity longer.

Hairloss in male
The greatest concern in past and present ages is male hair loss. Males usually develop a receding hairline, which develops into the typical ‘M’ shape as they begin to lose hair from the lateral sides of the forehead. At the same time, a progressive bald patch develops on the crown on the head. When these two areas join, they leave the remaining hair in a horseshoe-shaped area.
Male hair loss occurs when the hair follicles shrink and produce increasingly finer hair. Finally, they yield no hair at all any longer. The causes can range from genetic predisposition to changes in the levels of testosterone, the male sex hormone. Though it is also marginally present in females, testosterone determines the physical differences between men and women – including the degree of ‘hairiness’. For instance, an excess of it can cause an abnormality termed ‘hirsutism’, or abnormally prolific hair growth.
Close to 65% of all males suffer from hair loss to some degree or the other. For those who do, male hair loss may have more serious ramifications than merely cosmetic ones - a recent study conducted by Harvard Medical School linked it to a higher incidence of heart disease. The study proposed that male hair loss on the front of the head indicates a 9% increase in such a risk, while hair loss on the crown indicates a risk factor of as high as 23%.
Male hair loss is not a problem that can be taken lightly and the medical community certainly been hard at work isolating cures and treatment modules for it.
