Male Organ Bumps Could Be Ingrown Hairs Male organ bumps can be caused by many different factors and, depending on what the root cause is, may signify something serious. Very often, however, male organ bumps are a sign of a relatively benign issue and don’t mean a serious manhood health crisis is present. One reason for male organ bumps that may surprise men is simply ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs Ingrown hairs are hairs that get under the skin, become inflamed and create bumps. Most often ingrown hairs occur after a hair has been shaved or tweezed off. They are most frequently found in men with curly hair, as the curvature of the follicle makes it easier for it to grow back under the skin. When a razor cuts a curly hair, it creates a sharp ending; if the hair is cut at a point where it is curving inward, the sharp end is able to pierce the skin and grow inward. This is more likely to happen if the skin is being shaved while dry and if the skin is pulled tight while being shaved. Known medically as pseudofolliculitis barbae, ingrown hairs that cause male organ bumps are much more common among men who shave their midsection area. (They also occur more commonly on the face and can occur on the torso, arms or legs, if a man shaves any of those body parts as well.) With manscaping becoming more popular, the potential for more male organ bumps from ingrown hairs is increasing. Ingrown hairs can be recognized from the following symptoms. Remember, a man does not need to have all the symptoms to have an ingrown hair.  Small, rounded bumps  Small lesions that are filled with pus  Skin darkening in the affected hyperpigmentation)  Pain and itching  Embedded hairs
