Red hyperpigmentation (or something)

[filmfreak]

Hey guys,

As most of you probably know, I've done a lot of experimentation to get rid of my discoloration which was very very dark. I've been able to get rid of most of the dark but I notice a reeccuring redness. When I do the firegoat roll or deep tissue massages, it goes away and I see my white, original colour again. But after a few seconds the redness comes back to haunt me. Anyone else had this? I went to my doctor and he says it's nothing to worry about and he gave me a cream triamcinolone and another component to kill bacteria. It thinned the skin but the redness is still there. Seems more like irritation of the skin from all the stuff I did with it. But if anyone has experienced this, let me know.

Thinking about a TCA 25% peel next week. Bought a bottle and will do a test patch to see if it works.

NOTE: There are pink/undiscolored patches here and there on the skin. So, I guess it's still discoloration.

I kno wit has been advised but have you tried Hydrocortisone? I have issues with my skin becoming red and irritated and the Hydrocortisone cream always makes it go away.

 

[filmfreak]

I haven't tried that yet! I will try this. Thanks, DLD!

 

[filmfreak]

DLD, is there a particular brand and strength you use/recommend? I can find these here:

Go with the 1% cream, this is what I use and like I said, I never have redness issues ever now.

 

[filmfreak]

Thanks, Master DLD! Just ordered it.

Ordered this one:
SOVEREIGN Hydrocortisone 1% Ointment for Eczema , Skin Inflammation & Allergies -30g tube: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

Seems to be something that'll work.

No idea what I did to make it look this red but it sucks! When I do massages and firegoat rolls it's fine. The white natural color appears, for a little bit, then it returns to this red crap. ARGH! I can't show this to a girl... lol.

PS: The skin doesn't feel irritated as in itchy/painful, but I guess it is irritated, it just looks like crap. I'm sure it's because of the retin-a / stieva-a cream i've been using.

I really don't think it looks so bad Film, I mean compared to what you had before this is a 110% positive change. Wait for the Hydrocortisone and see if this helps some.

Thanks, DLD!

Btw, did you get any thinning of the skin because of hydrocortisone? I read this could happen. My doc gave me a cream, which has a cortisone component in it and I noticed thinning of the skin.

One thing I did notice is when I'm in the shower, heat seems to be the best way to reduce the redness. Initially it gets red/pinkish but when it has subsided, it goes more towards the original color. Interesting!

Not at all, they are most likely referring to the prescription strength. With the 1% you will be just fine.

Awesome development, I'm currently just doing the apple cider vinegar treatment, twice a day, and the redness is subsiding! Very nice! Today I also started taking Turmeric supplements which also seem to internally reduce hyperpigmentation. I'll keep all posted!

Such good news! So happy you are getting the results others are, this Apple Cider thing is really taking off!

Apple Cider Vinegar is great for cleaning stuff, also your penis. Although I dilute it with water 50%/50%, because on it's own it's a little too aggressive for me. I'm continueing my report on my sticky thread:

And I am following it! Your determination to get rid of discoloration has me always listening to what you post. I am so happy that today there is more options and they seem to be working for all men, across the board. This is monumental work in an area we suffered with for many years.
