Concerns with ROP Contact Area on Scrotum

[edaily55]

Sorry to start another ROP thread in the main forum, but I want to get the largest possible audience because I have some concerns about ROP usage and health/safety.

I've been wearing the ROP nearly 24 hours a day for the last 8 days or so. Today during a shower I noticed that on the zinc-contact side of my scrotum, there is a small white blister-like thing. It's pretty small but noticable nonetheless. It also appears that there are really tiny (almost invisible) ones forming around it, all in the area where the zinc touches my skin. These were definitely not there before I started wearing the ROP.

On the copper side I'm also noticing a decent amount of faint green/grey discoloration, which I know is common with copper. I do question how safe this is, though.

Has anyone else experienced this blister thing from zinc contact? Right now dealing with my low testosterone is the #1 priority for me, so I accepted that the ROP might be risky going in, but I'm very concerned nonetheless.

BTW - I got the same zinc rods everyone else got from McMaster's, so I know it's the same material everyone else has claimed to wear for months.

So far I've taken the ROP off and washed the area and won't be putting it back on until I can figure more of this out.

NOTE: If you're one of the numerous people that think the ROP is crap, PLEASE do not post in here about it. All I want to know is if anyone else has experienced these symptoms. I don't care about your opinion on the ROP overall.

It sounds like the blister may just be from the zinc rubbing the skin too much. Probably not much to worry about IMO.

It rings a vague bell from waay back. My gut feeling would be you shouldnt be wearing it 24 hours a day, for a solid 8 days. I wrote a FAQ on the RoP and my best guess would be you dont need to be wearing it that much. A third of that should be plenty.

The RoP always gave me the impression it has a multiplier effect, say 2x your normal test level. Once its kicked in and the effect is "on", all you need is to wear it enough to keep it elevated. You cant wear it constantly in the hope you can keep building and endlessly building your test level.


Also, rotate the RoP so the copper is on a different side each day.

eh'.. the only real use I've noticed with the rop were increased load size and a homemade cockring almost. Thats pretty much it, I think. I've wore the ROP for days on end without taking it off, its not dangerous or anything. The more sensible times to wear the rop is post pe exercise and or after ejaculation. Blisters usually show up around the area due to irritation but not to worry as stated by 9cyclops9.
