pumping and marks on glans

[Welnove]

I keep getting on my glans, I assume, burst blood vessels? Some are small and other kind of sizeable, the bigger ones made me stop. Dark marks are left behind where it happens. I've been pumping about a year +.

I had severe issues with discoloration on shaft in general. But started getting more and more dots on glans too. So I stopped for over a month, let everything heal. The dark marks dont fade.....they just stay there, going on two months now, maybe they are less apparent now though.

Restarting, after about a week or two of pumping. Slowly working up to 5g, never over, doing intervals. Going very slow and easy, Not using heat, I've stopped getting dots on shaft. But on the head... I'm still getting them? I feel like at this stage I need to stop. My glans is...very big, does this have to do with it? It presses up against the tube, when most of my shaft doesn't. Can a silicone glans protector or something help? Do I need to go even slower? And just build up a tolerance very, very slow?

I really don't want to stop pumping, but this is getting out of control and I'd rather not have even more marks on my cock head..... Pretty desperate here, any ideas? No heat defintly helped with shaft dots at least


So I'm after realizing, the dots or burst blood vessels I keep getting on my glans, all come from where my head pushes up against the glass. My glans is really, really big and with my upward cure, it easily pushes up against the glass....but my shaft doesn't even come close. The pressure and rubbing against the glass seems to be making small abrasions under the skin and sometimes they are quite bad.

Is there a way to avoid this, will a glans protector work in the pump? Is their a way I can limit glans expansion somehow? I've used a bigger tube...but my glans still hits the glass, and the bigger tube causes so much discoloration is much harder to get a seal, and is too big for me in general.

The marks that are left behind are becoming severe, not fading after a month+ just leaving dark marks where the abrasion happens.

What options do I have here? Is there any way to limit glans expansion, or keep it protected? I don't really need a bigger glans.

Welcome to the brotherhood brother.

I keep getting on my glans, I assume, burst blood vessels? Some are small and other kind of sizeable, the bigger ones made me stop. Dark marks are left behind where it happens. I've been pumping about a year +.

Let's take all the info so far into account.

1+ year of pumping. History of blood blister and discoloration, ranging from small to large. Dots on glans (assuming something like a mix of white and dark red?). Dark marks that looks like birthmarks I assume?

I had severe issues with discoloration on shaft in general. But started getting more and more dots on glans too. So I stopped for over a month, let everything heal. The dark marks dont fade.....they just stay there, going on two months now, maybe they are less apparent now though.

Nope. These dark marks will fade over time, but you have been introducing so much burst blood and the accumulation of blood components collected under surface skin is too high in concentration. There is a discussion about discoloration here:

Thread 'Discoloration, Hyperpigmentation, Hypopigmentation and known solutions'

Jan 20, 2025

For brevity purpose, and I'll get back to edit this later, our brother @Vishald0810 found a method to remove heavy purplish hyperpigmentation on his glans using a combination of holistic remedies for 3 to 4 days. Do take all remedies with a few grains of salt. It may or may not work for everyone.

If you have followed brother @Vishald0810 issues, he has some nerve and blood vessel damages along the way, causing irritation in his glans, along side of blood remnant in his glans where the discoloration can be alarming. From what's he using so far:

Some brothers here are successful in reduction the discoloration using only MoSRed (red light therapy).

Restarting, after about a week or two of pumping. Slowly working up to 5g, never over, doing intervals. Going very slow and easy, Not using heat, I've stopped getting dots on shaft. But on the head... I'm still getting them?

This is known as hotspots, or weakened skin layer (fascias). It's like a pimple infection that comes and goes at the same spot over and over again because there's a large weakened pocket there already.

I feel like at this stage I need to stop. My glans is...very big, does this have to do with it?

Nope. I have a very large glans myself. Wife loves it. Nothing to do with the spots. Its just bad pumping practices in the past.

It presses up against the tube, when most of my shaft doesn't. Can a silicone glans protector or something help?

Nope. Glans cap doesn't do anything. The glans is the terminal point. It will continue to be the largest end point for the blood to enter and remain until the pressure is released.

Do I need to go even slower? And just build up a tolerance very, very slow?

YES! And triple YES!!! Your skin is very sensitive right now. You have pockets that have yet to heal. You're pushing your skin to exceed its limit constantly. Resume low again, start at 4inHg for 60 seconds, slowly go up to 5inHg for 20 seconds, and drop back to 4inHg for 40 seconds. Back and forth, and back and forth. This is to simply reprogram your skin to expand with proper strengthening.

But never pump without doing the SSJ exercise with the pumping routine. You are trying to expand the inside, not the outside. Try a 5 minutes of SSJ first, before the pumping. BUT MAKE SURE TO WARM UP FIRST.

I really don't want to stop pumping, but this is getting out of control and I'd rather not have even more marks on my cock head..... Pretty desperate here, any ideas? No heat defintly helped with shaft dots at least

You don't have to.

You are partially correct. The dots are burst capillaries. Those capillaries were not properly conditioned under high pressures.

PAID HEED BROTHERS!!! This is an example for brothers with lower pressure tolerances. You don't have to go past 5inHg to see detrimental effects. Conditioning is everything in PE. Zealous routines and over expectations will kill your penis.

Is there a way to avoid this, will a glans protector work in the pump? Is their a way I can limit glans expansion somehow? I've used a bigger tube...but my glans still hits the glass, and the bigger tube causes so much discoloration is much harder to get a seal, and is too big for me in general.

Having a large glans is a wonderful thing. It's never a bad thing. Brothers are chasing after such a prize all the time, including myself. But to solve your issue, yes, having a larger and LONGER cylinder is crucial. For example, if your glans's coronal ridge (the rim of your glans) is 6in, purchase a cylinder with a diameter of 2in for comfort. If you need to go larger, 2.25in diameter cylinder is even better. BUT, if your penis is 6in long, you better get a cylinder that is 8in long. You need that extra buffer space at the top so you don't accidentally suck the tip of the glans with contusion pressure near the pressure valve. Badddddddd thing to do.

If you can, use a pump that support water usages. Read up on this article:

Thread 'Pumping with water comparison to air (water vs air)'

Jul 5, 2024

Okay, wife is not letting me to go sleep with her crazy social media madness. So, I might as well put something together for pumping using water comparison to air. This is just a discussion and not to put air down, or hyping water pumping method. Each brother has his own preferences as some can see more effective gains through air than water. However, we'll focus on water at the moment based on the findings so far. Let's do a collective of info what had been discussed so far.

There are always benefits for using water and air. Air is clean, easy to deal with, and can be done any time...

The marks that are left behind are becoming severe, not fading after a month+ just leaving dark marks where the abrasion happens.

The marks can remain as long as years. We can't tell since there is no photo of the mark. Most marks go away in a few months, but long standing marks caused by negligence can last quite a long, long, long time.

What options do I have here? Is there any way to limit glans expansion, or keep it protected? I don't really need a bigger glans.

Let everything expand, but expand smartly. Pump, but pump wisely. In my suggestions, read up on the 5x5x3 for pumping. BUT! Start with the SSJ first. Not the pumping.

I'll let other brothers chime in with their experiences.

Oh wow..... that was incredibly helpful... I was not expecting that, thank you so much! I will read up on everything you've said and implement it.

One thing though, you don't think the marks on my glans are from friction? My glans presses right up against the glass on my 2.0 and 2.125 tube...very quickly after pumping. I feel the friction with the pressure is causing the marks. Wouldn't a glans cap help to stop some of the damage?

And yeah....just to say, I know big glans is great and I'd like bigger....but if the problem is coming from friction.....I'd take no gains for no further marks/daamge.

1+ year of pumping. History of blood blister and discoloration, ranging from small to large. Dots on glans (assuming something like a mix of white and dark red?). Dark marks that looks like birthmarks I assume?

yes something like small birth marks, they are kind of brown in appearance after it heals, some look something akin to like a pimple before theyve healed....

Friction is only 0.5% of the 99.5% of the other problems. If your pump is safe, use Vaseline or lubrication that doesn't damage the pump.

Damn, I just spent so much on caps, haha. Oh well, good to know at least.

My reasoning was, I was using 2.125 cylinder, and I was having no issues with glans discoloration. I felt thought that the 2.0 was the better fit, it's once I switched to the 2.0 that I started getting marks on glans more and more.... I figured it's cause the head is pressing right up against the glass hard. I have been using a lot of lube, I thought I was going pretty slow, but I guess not as I was doing after 1 week of pumping. 2 min sets at 5g for 15 mins total, taking a break at 6 mins.

I decided to take a month break to heal, and start over. Starting again, I did a warm up before sets, but used no heat. Now I don't know if it's the tubes to small for glans, or the lack of heat starting, but I wasn't having issues with the tube I had before....everything started when I downsized

1+ year of pumping. History of blood blister and discoloration, ranging from small to large. Dots on glans (assuming something like a mix of white and dark red?). Dark marks that looks like birthmarks I assume?

yes something like small birth marks, they are kind of brown in appearance after it heals, some look something akin to like a pimple before theyve healed small rounded sort of blemishes and like the skin is no longer smooth and clear once theyve healed, almost like resiude acne marks or something under the skin....

How long would you recommend to wait to heal before starting to pump again?

This is blood blistering with epidermal sore formation. You also have plenty of residual blood and iron radicals all over the upper skin layers.

How long would you recommend to wait to heal before starting to pump again?

Any blood blisterint and broken skin down for 1mm, you need 3 to 4 weeks of full healing time. Once you know the skin cover is thick enough from the healing, resume with the lowest pressure, which is 4inHg. Perform SSJ at minimal force as possible. The moment you see slightly dark red color in the healed area, ease back. The best description is forcing blood into your finger tips and see the light color turning slightly dark. Keep at this for 2 weeks.

Thank you I'll take a break then and restart with your advise, really appreciated it.

I figured I should try get a pic incase my description wasnt accurate, thats about the best pic I could get. Upclose it kind of reduces how red the marks look, but from a distance its easier to see. All the places that look red are where the marks are....zooming up close like that makes it look differnt though like I've cut the skin in all those areas or made it raw through friction from pump/masturbation and rubbing glans too hard?

Got it. It's quite common. It's actually eczema. Some dermatologists like to group it into atopic dermatitis, commonly caused by moisture, chemicals in the water, or skin reactions due to expansion past the normal dermal flexibility.

Most brothers here use a hydrocortisone cream after each complete workout, or a combo of skin care oil such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, liquid Vit E, and many other. But for dermatitis conditions, hydrocortisone is the best approach. 1% is a good start. 0.5% for long term uses. 2% is for short term uses to reduce the issues faster. 5%, that must be obtained from the doctor if you are too worried about it.

 

[Welnove]

Damn that sounds bad, you really think its that? I think it looks crazy up close and kind of misleading.....from a distance its just a few dark brown marks....and like when it happens from the pump....I can see the blood under the skin. I see it on alot of people who do PE too....just smaller and less then I have atm.

Wouldn't eczema be very itchy and have a host of issues? I wouldn't even know it was there if I didn't look at it, theres no iritation whatsoever. Is there other options outside of hydrocortisone? I'm very hesitant on using taht...

Thank you for all the advise.

 

[oldandlively]

Eczema is not bad. It's typical. They all got grouped up under dermititis issues. Doing PE, you are placing stresses on the skins and tissues. Dermatitis will always happen.

You are worrying over nothing. It's very typical. The spots, be the dark spots or the little nodules, will go away. Skin care products will make them go away faster. I can see mine after 4 continuous days of intense PE and pumping. You normally don't see the nodules with moderate and light pressures.

Wouldn't eczema be very itchy and have a host of issues? I wouldn't even know it was there if I didn't look at it, theres no iritation whatsoever.

Nope. Eczema has many conditions. It can be just dry skin, and can be as bad as itchy blisters. Eczema has way too many conditions to define as "oh crap, this is bad" to "eh, next!" It's all grouped as, "make your own logical decision".

This is why it is so important to use Hydrocortisone as this will eliminate the dry skin and keep your penis in tip top shape. Don't worry about spots and dark spots including nodules, as time progresses these issues will resolve themselves.

You guys are really great.... I asked for help elsewhere and got basically nothing. Thank you so much for the reassurance. I'm really wary of using hydrocortisone on my dick though.... I had issues with skin thinning from it in the past so the idea of using it again.... and on my cock.... ahaha. I'd really rather not use that, will it still heal okay without it?

If you have skin thinning conditions due to the skin atrophic interaction with corticosteroids, you can reduce the total strength to 0.5% rather than the common 1% or 2%. They even have the 0.1% version. You can also use oil blending alternative with greater successes via holistic methods over pharma-grade. Most brothers here tend to use the holistic approaches over the pharma-grade. It's a bit more expensive, but in the long run, it's quite more healthy. Something like this:

Thread 'Penile skin and glans care - abrasion, edema, blister, open wounds remedies and skin health'

Nov 21, 2024

Most of us will come to a point in the train and face penile issues due to excessive forces, accidental handling, or just plain ignorance or excitement in our PE journeys. Most common issues are abrasion, blister (including bloody one), edema (because of pumping hot spots or just due to bad pressure handling, and in cases where we have open wounds. These are not the worst cases, but they are still bad since they slow our PE progression down. Let's take this on. Let's start with the common not-so-bad issue to the ooo-that's-bad issue.

Yes it will heal on its own but Hydrocortisone will speed the process. Also for open sores grab some bactracin is a amazing healer. I understand your concerns with Hydrocortisone but using our 1% Hydrocortisone it does not cause skin thinning that would only happen when using a prescription strength does cause skin thinning. I have been using Hydrocortisone for 22 years and I have never had skin thinning.
