Discoloration since 8 Months still not going away

Thank you. Just something slabbed together through Photography layering.


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 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 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.

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.

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.

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 MOS-RED | NIR INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY FOR ERECTION QUALITY during my training because I would not have had it at all.
