I dealt with some irritation a few days back that actually woke me up. It was located right behind the scrotum, where the main ring rests. I applied lotion and it stung slightly, but it was manageable.
My wife checked it out and noted the redness. She suggested I remove the device when heading to work. Immediately, my thoughts turned to what compromises I could make while uncaged, so I said no and decided to stick with it.
The issue repeated itself the next morning, yet I held firm. However, she began worrying because her concern grew as I kept asking for checks. She recalled having some epsom salts on hand. Soaked in a hot bath with them added for 15-20 minutes did the trick; things are much improved now. No pain or discomfort left, and it’s been two days since that soak.
Wanted to share this in case you encounter irritation but prefer not to release. It could make your balls fall off though, so be careful. Weigh up the risks carefully.
Do you have other tips for handling irritation without taking off the cage?
