Retinoids are strong steroids. Permanent redness might not happen to everyone, but safety is important when using retinoid based products. Start with the lowest percentage strength available and always spot test on a "less important" area.

Salicylic Acid at 30% is really strong, just a heads up. Might want to try diluting it or really use it sparingly.
For diluting I'd get distilled water / pure water from a drug store, always using clean utensils and containers.
 
Re: Nasty discolouration (with pics)



Are you saying that retin-A cause permanent redness of your skin? If you don't use hydrocortisone then the redness comes back?

Well fuck that puts me off retin-A a little...

Redness is temporary as the chemical used is very aggressive. You will go through stages of peal and redness until discoloration is gone.

Hydrocortisone you should use every day after you train because it eliminates itchiness, irritation, redness and a slew of other benefits.

Oh ok so it was temporary while you were using it? Great that helps to know.

I'm not planning on training while I use it.

So how long did you use it for and did it eliminate your discoloration permanently?

I've read it working for a few guys, but there's no follow up for them saying that the effects were permanent (in its regular use for wrinkles etc the effects aren't permanent).

I talked to one guy on another forum who said it only worked while he was using it.
 
Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if some of you have discolouration this bad and how you prevented or cured it.

I think I got this a couple of months ago due to my jelqing and squeezes. I'm doing my best to get rid of it because I'm really really hating this discolouration. I got the Monkey Spanker but it seemed to just make it worse. I also use Amlactin Moisturizing Body Lotion but not sure if it works either. I ordered a Vitamin K lotion against spider veins and pigmentation so who knows if that'll work. I'm taking a little break till I can get a hold of whatever works against this discolouration, which will hopefully go away. Also hoping I'll keep my gains. After that I'll get back to it.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!
itll fade with time, its just burst micro capillaries due to pressure.
 
Hey all, hope you're having success with getting rid of discoloration. I haven't been doing PE for a long time now so I've been out of the loop but I figured I'd take a peek here and see how things are going. My discoloration has been gone for a while now after a lot of experimentation as you can see in this thread. It does have some light color differences here and there but very minuscule and not noticeable. Also have been in a relationship for about 4.5 years now and sex is the best. She also always wants to touch it and compliments on size, even though it's about 7.5" erect. More than enough for most women I find.

Was thinking about picking up a routine again though which seemed to have given me very good results in terms of gains. Mainly erect stretches and using my VLC Tugger for most of the day. Will see how it goes and if I'll keep it up. I'll try doing that for a month. Don't want to become too big since now everything's pretty good, sex-wise.
 
Started with PE again and getting good results even though this is just my second day in my routine and building it up slowly. After this session it already looked quite big and bulky. Going into the right direction! :D Doing a short workout though:
2x2:30min simple stretches: out, left, right, up and down. Each 30sec.
2x2:30min mandingo stretches.

I do these two for the warmup. After that I do:

10min SRT Size Blasters. 1:00min per stretch and then alternating hands because my hands get achy. After this session it looks very expanded. So hopefully I'll be able to get to my old stats within a week which was about 19,5cm (+_ 7.7") BPEL.

Anyone got tips of how to recover from achy hands/wrists because of gripping? I probably have to grip differently and perhaps I do not have to exert so much force, not sure.

Aside from that all else is good! Been picking up regular workout as well, 50 pushups, planks and ab workout, and a few pullups. Relationship is good, had our ups and downs but we're marching forward!
 
And after that I hook up the VLC Tugger for SRT all day. Before sleeping I take it off though.

Also, I'm thinking about doing this same routine next week Monday but adding, in the evening, another session of Size Blasters. Maybe I'll also try a session of Jackups.
 
Your routine looks good but there’s a few things I would add to in you’ll find in SRT. I would also like to know how your discoloration is going, have you seen any improvements?
 
The discoloration is has not returned and it looks natural again, has been since 2014/2015 luckily! I do see a little bit of reddening due to PE now but it doesn't last long, usually. I take every Sunday as a restday, but I do keep it in an extended state with the VLC Tugger.

It took you so long you went through so many trials to make this happen, I brag about you and how far you took this. It be awesome if you can write up a thread exclusively on what you did and how you did it so people with discoloration can swallow it without all the other posting around. That has its own thread it will be much more effective
 
I'll think about that and how to put it into words/structure. That would be good. I'll also have to think back haha!

I would just try to put a simplified version together to have other people give it a shot.
 
Hey, FF, seems like Ive got the same thing just now! Currently theorizing its hemosiderin stains, but can't be sure yet. How did you get it better (read some of the thread, but not all 14 pages)? Massage and really hot water only? How long did you massage it for? How long did it take for it to completely heal? Thanks in advance man! :)
 
The discoloration is usually caused by excess pressure, in your case, most likely due to blood trapped in the head area during the stretching. Whether it takes hours to months depending upon the person, the discoloration will naturally go away.

Discoloration happens to anyone who is doing PE. I don't think it is anything to worry about because it is a part of gaining penis growth.
 
Yeah, I know but it's like this dark band right in the middle of the shaft! However, I did notice something. The deep massages seem to work when I combine it with hot water, and I don't mean warm, I mean really hot. For some reason it loosens the cloded stuff which makes the discolouration and lets it go into the blood stream. I notice slight differences in tone, lighter.

But, what's weird is when I mastrubate, which I almost never do anymore, it seems to get darker in tone. I just did it this morning before length routine. Same goes for when I put cream on it etc.
Bathmate pumps, also helps with blood circulation and skin recovery (if not the gator get you).
