The zipper has a remarkable ability to pull two separate pieces of fabric together and hold them together securely. It's a wonderful invention, but it's unlikely that the person who came up with this innovation really thought the application through clearly. After all, the moving teeth of a zipper can quickly snatch up delicate bits of very sensitive tissue, especially when that zipper is on a pair of man's pants. A wardrobe malfunction like this can be terrifying, and it often leads to a very sore penis, but smart penis care in the moment and gentle soothing in the days that follow can make that soreness fade to an unpleasant but distant memory . Emergency Care The first reaction of a man who's been trapped in a zipper is to tug the tab down and pull those pants right back off. It's a reflex, and it's understandable, but it's certainly not the best way to handle the problem. After all, pulling on the zipper means running over that tissue once again, causing yet more damage in the process. If the zipper tab is far away from the trapped tissue, a pair of wire cutters can snip through the median bar of the zipper fastener. The tab will just slide right off, and a gentle pull can release the tissue that's been trapped. Cutting the zipped-up fabric below the trapped skin is also a good choice, as this little snip will allow the linked sides of the zipper to come apart with a gentle tug. Men who don't have the right tools or the proper dexterity to handle these steps should feel no shame in visiting the emergency department for help. Professionals keep all sorts of cutting tools on hand for this kind of problem. The embarrassment of a visit might be worth the relief that will come when the trapped skin is freed once more. Even people who can free their own skin might need the help of a professional, however. Major wardrobe malfunctions result in major cuts, and sometimes, a few stitches might be needed. Men with major lacerations might need to spend a night in the hospital, just to ensure that no clots form. Soothing Pain When the clothing is gone and the tension level has dropped, a man might be left with a bit of residual pain. This can be treated with:
  • Over-the-counter pain medication
  • Cool washcloths
  • Soft clothing
  • Rest
Vigorous activity, including sex and masturbation, should be avoided until the skin has healed. Similarly, lifting heavy objects or engaging in vigorous exercise might also be unwise for men with stitches to avoid separating the sutures. The skin needs all of its energy in order to heal, so rest is a vital part of this process. Long-Term Care Penis skin has the remarkable ability to stretch and expand when blood flows into the area. That's what makes an erection possible; but scar tissue just isn't as elastic as skin that's never been touched by injury. While men can't turn back the clock on a wardrobe malfunction, there are some things they can do after the injury has healed in order to ensure that bands of scar tissue don't ruin their erection ability. A penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) containing Shea butter and Vitamin E can soothe rough skin and preserve its ability to stretch and expand. Products like this can also deliver vitamins directly to penis skin, providing it with the nutrition it needs to knit together properly and function beautifully. These cremes shouldn't be used on open, bleeding skin, but they can be a vital part of the healing process for skin that's on the way to wellness once more.
