Discoloration since 8 Months still not going away

Can you take it as a dietary supplement every day? Even without training? I think anything that promotes blood circulation is generally not bad for taking for the overall gealth . Do you take citrulline? If so, how often?
Yes you can. I do it for my exercises to promote blood flow and recovery.

I take 3g on days I don't kill myself cycling for endurance and strength building. 6g a day (3g in the morning and 3g at night 2 hours before PE routines). It helps to keep my blood flowing all day and restore the stressed cells to recover slightly faster.

How is your growth going?
 
How is your growth going?
Gained 0.75in in 7 months, with 0.5in girth. Had to take a few weeks off in between because of blisters and tissue tug back. Got a bit too greedy with tissues being malleable.

Good to know about the Citrulline. Thanks again for your tips. A little update, as I've had a lot to do and not so much time. I really started applying the 2% BHA today. Surprisingly, I didn't feel anything when I applied it, nothing burned or tingled. Absolutely nothing. You were right here again that the skin on the shaft can tolerate it. 👍🏻 But now I'm wondering whether it even works as a peeling if you don't feel anything? Of course nothing changed immediately, that would be too good to be true. So I'll keep doing it now and see if anything happens in 2 weeks.

What I also noticed is that the discoloration gets much darker when the penis is supplied with blood. Is that a sign that the discoloration is deeper in the skin or more superficial?

What someone mentioned also here in the forum was Arnica cream, which is normally used for sprains and bruises. I can't imagine that it helps in my case.

No, 2% is not enough to cause peeling. 5% will.

Keep us all posted.

Darker color when blood flows in is a shadow of blood in combo with superficial colored layer. Is like adding a light brown layer with a dark red layer. Dual layers of dark color causes darker overall color.

Nope. That is to move bruises out of the way from fresh blood accumulation under the skin. Your case is the leftover that got embedded under the skin for many weeks to months, or even years. You will need more drastic measures.
 
Hello brother @oldandlively, a little update on the current situation. So far not much has changed with the dark spot even though I used the solution BHA 2% every evening. However, I now have a new small problem and that is I had an irritation on the skin of skin my testicles. So I used the 1% hydro cortisone just really once, not more. I put it on in the morning and really just only on the skin of my testicles.

Then Suddenly in the evening I had a really light spot on the top of my penis where I hadn't put the Cortisone Cream at all. I don't know if there's a connection between the cortisone and the light spot in that area.

I really didn’t put any cream there. So how can this happen? Will this light spot go away? I didn't have it in the morning so it can only be from the Cream but I didn't put any cream on that spot. What could it be? Can you give me some advice?

Can you provide a photo?

I suspecting you many have a residual compound interaction through the heated and moist alkaline environment (sweaty balls as we put it).

While you take a chance for the photo, go ahead and do gentle washing using mild soap (like Castile extracted from natural plant oil) with warm water. Allow the area to damp dry using a nice wicking towel, and go commando (not underwear) as much as you can. Let's monitor for the next 3 days.

Absolutely right. I can only say again and again how impressed I am @oldandlively. 👍🏻

That is also what I found out on the Internet at least what the reason could be, namely that it was due to the heat and moisture that had built up in my underwear and that this reaction may have occurred because of it.

Because I had already tried the cortisone cream for the dark spots on the shaft and my skin didn't lighten, only this time unfortunately and especially on the upper part. Where it should not be! I tried as best I could to take a photo where you can see it clearly, unfortunately you can't see it very well in the picture but I have marked it and hope that you can see it clearly.

I also did a bit of research and there are a few cases of people who have used cortisone cream, for example on their face, and also had light spots. Some of them said they went away on their own in 2-3 days, for some not. I hope that won't be the case for me. So now I've just showered and put Aloe vera gel on it. I really didn't need that 😞. I'm trying to get rid of my dark infection and now I'm getting a light one instead! Do you think it will normalize on its own?

That happend on Wednesday. The Foto that I took was from today (Sunday).

By the way, my skin irritation on my Skin testicles came about because I had the stupid idea of rubbing Retinal Cream on the shaft in extreme hot weather where you are sweating the whole day wearing a underwear, and some of the cream came also on my testicles where the skin is definitely more sensitive then on the shaft. Plus the heat in my underwear, which irritated everything even more. which gave me the next stupid idea of using cortisone cream in the heat and then wearing underpants. 😔

I see it. Common skin bleaching. It's definitely a high reaction of the compounds from heated alkaline environment. It will normalize soon. Bleaching causes skin to lighten fast. Pigmentation darken it back over time. Think about your hair being highlighted and returns to it's original color.

It will. Pigmentation is quite fast. As I have told another brother, if you want shading, expose your penis to red light therapy lamps or the full exposure to the sun for an hour a day.

Yeah. Not a good idea. Some will get irritation just salty heated environment alone. Add cortisone to the mix, it's an unpredictable outcome. This is why I go commando.
 
I have to recommend again what I said in the begining, it seems you went down the cream route. Now go to 3 different urglogist, start RED + NIR for 30 min a day for 3 months and let us know how healthy your penis is. I believe you need to get a healthy and strong penis and then do what ever experiement you want. Also, not during RED + NIR but before or after if you are doing some stretches or jelq or pump just consider coconut oil.

I hope it won't take as long as it did with my dark discoloration. That is almost a year old and nothing has changed. I hope it isn't like that. It's the last thing that I would need. That really makes me sad.

Should I keep using the Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera Gel. For the Irritation? What about the Salicylic Acid routine? Should I continue with it? Nothing has changed so far in the dark spot area.

Aloe is perfectly fine. Just make sure you wash the residue of salicylic acid off completely with warm water and soap, damp dry very well, only apply aloe on after the skin air dry for a few minutes.

What about the Salicylic Acid routine?
Give a three days break before continuing. That allows the skin to recover.

Should I continue with it? Nothing has changed so far in the dark spot area.
Give another month. If it doesn't work, switch to a different method of lightening. There are at least a dozen of chemical lightening solutions. We will fine one that you will be able to use for a long time.

Be sure to always wash off all fluids off you penis and equipment or you risk a broken pump.

Well, actually, I started this Cream route because of my problem with the dark spots caused by the injury. I described my case if you read my post at the very beginning. I never did PE training. But unfortunately I ended up here in the injury section. This device is definitely good, no doubt about it, but I don't think it will help in my case, even if I can order it internationally. It doesn't make sense here from Germany, it's just too much effort, so I'm just trying to find the best therapy and solution that's close to me and that's just these creams for me.

Hello Brother @oldandlively, it's been two weeks now since the light spot caused by the Cortisone cream and I don't really see any change. I've uploaded a current photo from today but somehow I can't see that it's darkening. I put Aloe Vera on it and nothing else.

Could it take longer or is this also something that takes several months or years? For some people I read in the internet that it went back to normal for them after two days, but it happened in the face. Could it take even longer in my case? That really annoys me. Apart from that, I only put the cream on it once and not for several days. That something like that can happen from just one time it’s unbelievable.

Since your penis is hidden from sunlight, it's unpredictable unless you expose to the sun or red light therapy. If you want fast pigmentation, that's the only way to go if you worry about darken skin for lighten spots.

For some people I read in the internet that it went back to normal for them after two days, but it happened in the face. Could it take even longer in my case?
The face is exposed to the UV spectrums. That allows pigmentation to occur faster. No light, slower pigmentation.

That really annoys me. Apart from that, I only put the cream on it once and not for several days. That something like that can happen from just one time it’s unbelievable.
Chemo-bleaching. It's a phenomenon that as predictable as a free delicious meal. You never know what mother nature throws at you as you use manmade chemicals that do not have all the predictable variation.

With a Hypopigmentation, especially like in my case caused because of a cream and not an injury, normally the body should start producing its own Melanin production in the skin again, even without sun exposure.

Of course, it is way more slower than if I were to expose myself to the sun or red light. But normally it is also a process that the Body does itself, maybe I need to give it a bit more time? Skin cell regeneration may also take longer. In my cases, everything seems to take longer. Unfortunately.

I hope it won't be such a long story like with the dark spots. It’s getting more and more complicated ironically. 😕

If one of the Brothers here had the same problem or had a similar experience about lighting with a cortisone cream, he is welcome to share his experience and knowledge with us.

Yes, the body does generate the melanin over time. Unfortunately, when the clothing covers the skin, the melanin that generates the pigmentation to match the surround is much, much, much slower. This can be observed by performing the same experimentation on your skin that's likely to expose to the UV spectrums, such as your arm. Say you have an abrasion, your skin healed, but you cover it with clothing that will not allow UV spectrums to cause the pigmentation to occur due the darkening of the melanin, the healed area will take quite a bit of time to reach the same coloration as every other part of the exposed skin.

Yes, it will take a bit more time. Where the sun don't shine, it will take a bit longer. As long as pains and anomalies, beside skin bleaching, does not occur, be patient and continue on with your own quest for skin lightening from hyperpigmentation for the rest of the penis.

Hahahaha. Welcome to the complexity of the biological world my brother.

I wish more brothers chime in with every little issue they have. They don't believe that small issues worth the reporting, but in fact, it helps quite a bit in revealing the complexity of strangeness during PE.

Then all I can do is just wait and see. Two weeks have passed now. But l'll wait another two weeks and I will observe. My patience is being tested even more now. As if I not already had enough with the hyperpigmentation downside.

It's just annoying that now it's worse, I would rather not have used the cortisone cream. The irritation on the skin of the testicles has already healed. Aloe Vera gel would have been sufficient. I didn't have to use cortisone, especially when it's very warm and heat and sweat build up in my underwear.
 
You learn new things all the time in life. There are things that you don't expect that happens later but didn't at the start. Chemistry changes as you age. This is why the PE journey is not a simple thing, but a living and ever changing things.

It's a shame that it's like that, because honestly, everything here, the training and of course the injuries is like a Big puzzle and every little piece of the puzzle is important. So normally everyone should give when they see a case that they themselves have experienced, give a little feedback to help others. Because in the end, as the saying goes, the devil is in the details.
 
Hello @oldandlively great profile picture.
The white spot is still there. It's been two months now and nothing has really changed. Should I expect it to be permanent? I've started using coconut oil and aloe vera to at least take care of my skin a little. It can't get any worse. But the pigments don't seem to be coming back, at least not yet. Many people seem to have been lucky because for them it went back within a few weeks, but for me it hasn't gone back yet.
 
Hello @oldandlively great profile picture.
Thank you. Just something slabbed together through Photography layering.

The white spot is still there. It's been two months now and nothing has really changed. Should I expect it to be permanent?
A yes and a no. A yes, in terms of possible chemical burn or spotting. Something like a chemical bleaching/peeling.

As DLD indicated, MOS Red or a light therapy (low doses of UV exposure to long period of red light therapy) to get the pigmentation to come back. I know you indicated the naked sunbathing is not an option, but there may be chances for the privacy behind closed walls with lightly closed exposed windows.

Keep the skin moist is one way. Another way is to use pigmentation type of chemical if you are in a rush. Ever heard of tan lotion? They are artificial tanning but same method of bleaching in the opposite direction. Only use a dab in a hidden area to test for sensitivity and reactivity.

Many people seem to have been lucky because for them it went back within a few weeks, but for me it hasn't gone back yet.
Many people has reversion of pigmentation, but they may be darker in skin color or has much greater outdoor exposure than you. They may be wearing no underwears and much lighter clothing.

If you are hard to get a tan, you will have a hard time to get a nice darker skin tone or restorative pigmentation to your penile skin. If you are easily tanned, your penile skin will reach its pigmentation very quickly.
 
I never thought about tanning, very Interesting.

I would say my skin is more Mediterranean, not light and not too dark in the middle. When I go out in the sun I tan quickly. I don't have light skin and from the pictures I posted, you can see that the skin on my penis is darker too. So I might get dark quickly in the sun. I would just like that it get dark on its own, even if it’s more slowly then with sun exposure. The hope is that it will just go dark on its own without doing anything just from the skin melanin production.

I don't want to experiment any more. I don't think self-tanning would be the best solution either. As far as I understand, the self-tanner does not stimulate the melanin production of the skin. It darkens the skin and makes it look brown that’s true, but the actual melanin production in the skin itself, as with sun exposure, does not occur.

Maybe I should wait a bit longer. It usually takes three months for the skin to completely regenerate or maybe six weeks is just too early?

Do you know anyone personally? Who had something like that from a cortisone cream and it went away on its own? Maybe you can tell me about a personal experience, even if it wasn't you, but someone you knew.

Would Beta carotene capsules help? At least you get slightly an orange skin color. If you take them, would that have an effect? I have now taken vitamin A orally for a few days but that also has no effect on this light spot.

In areas where UV cannot be exposed directly to the skin, the melanin production tends to slow down, roughly around 5%. It's like comparing your butt cheeks to the rest of the body where the UV does get the healthy dose.

No need to experiment. Just allow nature to take its course.

Definitely. Allow time for the body to adjust naturally. The body tends to balance itself out without our intervention.

Do you know anyone personally? Who had something like that from a cortisone cream and it went away on its own? Maybe you can tell me about a personal experience, even if it wasn't you, but someone you knew.
Yes. Quite a handful actually. This is why there are many who use hollistic methods over chemically refined methods. Hydrocortisone can be substituted with castor oil, coconut oil, Vit D, and various other concentrated natural creams and oils combination. We are living in a natural vs manmade world, with combinations that I can't even wrap my brain around.

Would Beta carotene capsules help? At least you get slightly an orange skin color. If you take them, would that have an effect? I have now taken vitamin A orally for a few days but that also has no effect on this light spot.
Yes and no. Yes, if you're trying to encourage UV exposed surface area to take advantage of the beta carotene. No, if the area is closed off to UV exposure. No, it doesn't make your eye sight better unless you have 4000% loading every day.
 
So do you think there is a chance that it will go back? Maybe in a couple of months? What worries me is that in these six weeks the skin has not darkened at all, so you can see at least a slow process going back as it was before. It is exactly the same as on the first day.

I didn't know that something like that could happen, to be honest, I only used it once that day. Yes, I used the cream pure, but who would have thought that it could have such a reaction after just one use. To be honest, that depresses me because I already had the problem with the darkening of my skin on the shaft and now this.
 
So do you think there is a chance that it will go back?
Yes, it does. Same with those who suffered from chemical bleaching, eczema, or abnormal skin condition due to melanins, it may take a bit of time, but conditions tend to reset as the body resets.

Don't see the body's adaptation timeline as short term in days or weeks. Those timelines are merely the average from worldwide statistics. Try to think outside of the timelines according to your own body, or those similar to you. There are many cases with your skin sudden changes. Some got their skin recovered in weeks. Some went to months. Some rare ones went to years. But overall, the conditions reset.

My oldest son had something similar when he was a kid around 5 years old. Some kind of chemical reaction from the lotions we used, possibly a mix of an ointment and 50SPF sunblock resulted in a white patch of skin preventing it from darken. It remained bleached for a few months. The outer edge started to darken over time, but the center remained bleached for a good year. It took us a good long while to comprehend the chemistry interaction before we could create a list of interactive chemicals for do's and don'ts. However, that doesn't apply to him any more after the age of 12.

But, my brother started to have something similar. He uses 50SPF sunblock, but at the same time, he has chemo drugs that suppresses the melanin from producing properly. He has patches of bleached skin all over this body.

Point to take home, as we aged or our body chemistry changes, the interaction of compounds, be natural or manmade, will influence our body as well. It can be internal or external. We just have to find solutions one step at a time.
 
I had discoloration during my active training but when I went into maintenance mode (one session a week) it completely got rid of all discoloration. It took about 4 months. I wish I had the MOSRED during my training because I would not have had it at all.

Thank you very much for the report from your Son and your Brother. At least it gives me a little insight into what process I can expect. I think that in my case too, unfortunately, I have to be just as patient with the light spot as I was with the dark spot on the shaft. It's already annoying with the dark discoloration. I didn't need a light one as well. Now to wait for two things at once and see if it heals over time, that's just bad luck. I hope that this test of patience will finally be rewarded and I will see results.
 
I had discoloration during my active training but when I went into maintenance mode (one session a week) it completely got rid of all discoloration. It took about 4 months. I wish I had the MOSRED during my training because I would not have had it at all.
You were really lucky that after four months everything went back to normal. The dark discoloration on my shaft happened almost a year ago and it's still there. And that even though I don't train at all.

Sorry my brother but don't let it bother you too much most people will never notice. I did a lot of deep tissue massage with heat over that time which probably helped quite a bit

Thank you brother, for the kind words. Unfortunately, I can't ignore it completely. I'll try as best I can to wait and hope that time heals everything. But the fact that new things keep coming up how like light the Spot is obviously getting me down. I'll just use Aloe Aera Gel and Coconut oil to care for my skin. And then we'll see.

I have a white spot on my penis that never went away. All dark skin returned to normal but the white spot remains
 
Was the light spot caused by the cortisone cream or what was the cause?
Just like DLD stated, the white spots are from overtraining, which caused by the phenomenon called hotspotting. This is the results from over thinning the skin and resulted in dermal scaring. The best comparison is improper skin healing from a cut, but in this case, it's from improper healing from over skin stretches.

Very interesting, that means we have two cases of white spots here that have
two different reasons. In the case of DLD, it was caused by the overtraining and hospotting. And in my case by the cortisone cream that bleached the melanin out of my skin. However, I hope and pray that my chances are better with my case to heal and get rid of the white spot. As I don’t had overtraining or did a manually friction.

In the case of DLD, does this mean that this white spot has also no melanin in the skin? Or is it more a white spot like a scar?
 
No I believe it was because i overteained. I use hydrocortisone everyday without white spots showing up.
Maybe try to get rid of that spot with tanning under the natural sun or better in a tanning room. I guess you also have this over there in the states. These shops where you can go and pay to get into these cabins and tan for about 10-20 minutes. This might to get rid of the white spot.
 
Hello brother @oldandlively, hope you're doing well so far. I have a question and would like to hear your opinion. Unfortunately the white spot is still the same after more than 2 months. I will continue to wait and hope that the repigmentation sets in. But I also went to a dermatologist and he gave me a cream and said that it might help and I should test it. The cream is called Protopic® 0.1% and the active ingredient is tacrolimus monohydrate. The cream is actually for neurodermatitis, but it is also used for repigmentation in vitiligo. I'm not sure whether I should try the cream because I don't have vitiligo on that white spot and I don't want to irritate the area any further or make it worse. Have you heard of the cream? Should I do nothing and keep continuing waiting that hopefully recover by itself or should I try the cream?

Good to hear back from you brother. Yes, I know that medication. My two kids used the medication with different brand name but containing tacrolimus as the ingredients for their servere eczema. Eczema is also known to depigmentize the effected skin area. This is why why your dermatologist suggested it because the hydrocortizone does act like an eczema promoter in a perfect condition (the bad perfect conditions as in the Perfect Storm).

If you want to try it, do only a spot application check. Use a cotton swab or a small applicator for one spot only Leave the rest alone. Make sure to isolate the cream from spreading out of the area by only applying during rest or free time when you can be butt naked until the cream is dried off. Most of the time, including my kids, the skin repigmentation takes between 2 to 3 months. However, each person is different due to biochemistry their bodies produce, and real life factors in play. So, you can do spot treatment only. No more than than. Nothing venture, nothing gain. Since you are healthy, it will not cause any issues.

My dermatologists also indicated that ingredients ruxolitinib cream is very effective in restoring pigmentation, but the ailments the cream is used for is completely off from your diagnosis. It's a lot more potent for what it does to restore pigmentation.
 
I also think you should do the ball and lig stretch to deal with turkey neck. This will force loose skin to the testicles. I agree with oldandlively on the pigmentation.
