My easy to follow yet powerful routine

Yes and not all hydrocortisone creams are equal it's best to get prescription grade if you can. You should only use the hydrocortisone cream for 2 weeks about 4 times a week twice a day and then stop all use for a long time or until next outbreak for it to stay effective and because it thins out the skin. I through out a brand new bottle of prescription hydrocortisone because the 2 weeks was up and haven't used it in a year but I do use other better stuff the Dr. gave me for my skin condition (psoriasis).

This is the reason I use the over the counter strength, there is no restriction on how long you can use it and unlike the prescription strength, it will not thin the skin.

Thank you Jordey!

Another thing is I got a rash I think from the sleeves maybe because I was soaking them in alchohol and not taking them directly into a shower for a thorough rinse. It caused a itchy rash which I believe caused hyperpigmentation of my skin and the lower top part of my shaft healed darker with holes in the skin.

Yes and also note putting the hydrocortisone and other medications on the face will only irritate it. Unfortunately I've made that mistake a few times and my nose and forehead was inflamed.

I have the complete opposite reaction. My face stays clear of wrinkles, dryness and redness and I use Hydrocortisone after I shave everyday. My doctor suggested I use it years ago because I was getting terrible rashes after shaving. Since then my face has always been clear.

This makes sense because my derm prescribed me a low dose hydrocortisone cream with aloe in it today for my face.

I showed the derm my red penis which I said thought was do to discoloration.

The derm looked at it and said the redness was from increased blood flow not my condition and that it wasn't discoloration! He said it's called something else (forgot the name) and that it was from increased blood flow and that it will go back to normal in time with the creams and washes he prescribed me. No light or laser therapy needed.

I told him that I used the pump and that other guys are experiencing discoloration do to pumping and that I thought it was permanant.

He said the pumping will do that to it and that it's not called discoloration. Its called something else and that it will go away with the creams.

After I learned that I went home and made a soak of mostly T-gel and a little douse of a prescription wash and soaked my penis in it for 15 min (can also be used as a warmup) and used my penilizer tool to massage the penis during the soak.

Then I went in the shower to open up my pores further and put on the new hydrocortisone that he gave me while still in the shower.

I let my penis air dry in front of the heater so I can put on my DTR tugger without losing grip. Followed by patches of medical tape all around the penis where there was red on the shaft to let the creams work better on the shaft.

Hopefully in time I will see the redness completely vanish. My glans are recovering nicely returning back to the normal skin color faster do to not having it as long as on the shaft.

If it's just from an increase in blood flow, then I don't really see how it can decrease unless you slow down what you're doing. Am I wrong here? Seems to negate most things in the earlier posts. Hopefully you can get the name of the condition.

Smerc I have slowed down. I completely stopped pumping, clamping, hard Jelqs, ect. What do you mean negate things in earlier posts? The condition is called psoriasis but the redness wasn't because of that or discoloration. The discoloration everyone is talking about is called something else it was a wierd name and that yes it's caused by increased blood flow and pumping but it's not permanant you just need to stop pumping/clamping so hard or all together I'm still not sure about light pumping work but I'm sure as hell not doing it hard like I used to.

I mean the negate the link between psoriasis and the penis dilemma. Which is awesome if the two are not linked. Hopefully things subside since it was said that it should go back to normal (in time and with creams/washes). Is that your main psoriasis derm that you went to, for the penile issue?

Yeah I guess it wasn't linked because when the derm looked at it he said that's caused by increased blood flow not the psoriasis. That's why I told him about the pumping and other guys who pump having the same problem and if it's permanant. That's when he said yeah pumping will cause it but not to worry it will still go away with the creams/washes and that it's not discoloration there's another name for discolored penis with pumping. Yes I spoke to the main derm today that knows I have the skin problem but sometimes he's not able to see me and has others filll in so yes I was lucky enough to see the big man on campus today and that's what he said so that's also good news for others with the discolored penis problem.

That's good to hear. Do you know if he often gets people up there w/ that same problem in that area? I wonder how much he knows about PE.

What problems are are referring to, penis enlargment and skin conditions?

The derm was about to leave the room when I told him the increased blood flow was because of the pump. He then shut the door which was open a crack because he was about to leave. Pump? He said, I say yeah pump.. Like enlargment. That's when he goes yeah that will do that to it and that it's not discoloration like everyone is saying that's something different very confidently like he knew about the side effects of pumping already and that the creams/washes would work with confidence in his voice.

This dermatologist is an older experienced man in the practice for years I'm sure my mild psoriasis problem was nothing to him. More recent my discoloration problem that I showed him. He told me to remove my hand as he calmly looked at it with his magnifying head gear, it's not discoloration or psoriasis that's ........ caused by increased blood flow. I forgot the word but it wasn't a word normally heard of.

Does it burn? He asks, Then I say yes especially if I'm going at it for a long time making a jerking motion with my hands. Then he says hmm I'm going to prescribe you something else and that's when he gives me the second cream promiseh. The first cream being Vytone (light hydrocortisone infused with aloe and other stuff, green like aloe) upon looking at the discoloration and redness. On the way out he says stop it in a joking manner.

The derm also said the stuff I'm using on my penis now I should not have been using its too strong and it probably only irritated me and I've been using it for awhile it's probably the reason I broke out with the sleeves.

Now that I learned all that in one appointment I'm feeling pretty glad I went and it clears my head of a lot of questions.

When we were talking I mentioned my papules briefly but I don't think he heard me. I wanted to get something for that too.

In 4 weeks I have to back so I will get him again for an appointment.

If there's any questions anyone would like me to ask for the mos brotherhood let me know guys. 😊

Just the after effects from pumping or if someone had a problem w/ just general discoloration in that area (either by PE exercises or something other).
I wasn't sure if they get people for skin problems in every area or if those types of problems should be dealt w/ by urologists. I guess a skin problem is still a skin problem regardless of where ever it's at.

I only dealt w/ derms on 2 occasions and was just curious how they deal w/ problems in other areas non related to the face(I have acne/scarring btw).

Seems like you've got a pretty good doctor. Hopefully those topicals/washes work (I see that you also posted the actual names in another thread, in case someone was wondering what you use currently).

Forgot to mention the derm gave me a good wash called Ketoconazole which is a stronger version of the regular tar washes. He said to keep it on for 3 min. And rinse it off. For my body I keep it on for an hour but face it does irritate so 3 min. in the shower is enough.

Smerc you were on to something when you said to try Salicylic acid! It counts as one wash to be used to actually help get rid of discoloration. I will do a t/sal soak mixed with the medication wash next time.

I only know what I know through acne/scarring/facial pigmentation issues. BHA washes can help in that area, it's just I heard that washes are more for exfoliation and cleaning the skin of dead cells. Some people report lightening overtime. The BHA/AHA creams are what gets most of the praise. Paulaschoice has quite a bit to choose from, but they're DAMN expensive. Usually you can find them on amazon. I just don't know how this stuff works for applications down below. Rosehip oil also gets quite a bit of talk on pigmentation, but that may be more due to sun damage. Unless you're nude bathing w/ UV rays bounces off your dick, I'm not sure if that would help. It gets some talk though for helping people w/ psoriasis (it also has a bit of vitamin a (trans-retinoic acid) in it).

I'm not sure what topicals a urologist would prescribe maybe something different idk sounds interesting.

About your acne scarring I think the light treatment or laser gets rid of that but it's expensive without coverage.

The doctor just prescribes me new stuff every time I go to him lol I'm using this coverage to it's full extent with stelara shots for my psoriasis as well.

Yes I will name all the prescription topicals I'm using to get rid of the discoloration.

1. Vytone
2. Ketoconazole (wash)
3. Promiseh

That's the powerful stuff I'm using to hopefully take out the discoloration. Along with the penilizer (penis massaging/Jelq tool) to massage my penis during the soaks and it feels good.

Yeah the washes take a long time to work usually it's the creams and washes combined but it's true a good wash them you scrape off all the dead skin and scales. Hmmm Amazon has good creams that's where I got the expensive calendula cream from. The BHA/AHA I will check out seems like another high qaulity over the counter cream to fight discoloration that's worth a shot. The rosehip oil is found in my non petroleum jelly cream waxeline. I have a lot of over the counter creams I slowly work into the mix one at a time to see what works and to get rid of stuff. I don't really know about the effects down there yet I'm kinda just getting started on restoring my penis skin and going all out.

I would look @ swansons( NOW Foods Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 fl oz Liquid - Swanson Health Products ) or mountainroseherbs( https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/rosehip-seed-oil/profile ). The content in the jelly might not be that much. I get most of my stuff through swansons, especially when they have their 20% OFF discounts and amazon when I can't find it on swanons. For bulk products mountainrose or amazon generally has the better deals even after discounts from swansons. I just only discovered paulaschoice a few months back for skin products. They do reviews on most products skin related.

Wow! I just had immediate results with the ketoconazole wash and vytone literally a few hours after using it. I took off the dtr tugger and noticed my head was shiny, clear and smooth like a baby's bottom and the redness at the tip of the head drastically decreased.

It seems like all the areas new to discoloration are clearing up very fast. The stretched foreskin line in the middle of the shaft made by the dtr tugger is the now suddenly white skin cutting the discolored red shaft right in half. It's like my new skin not exposed to the pump is turning back to normal asap. I can't believe how quick the results were. The other medication must have been irritating my skin but still I can't believe how clear the head is and that extreme white line in the shaft cutting through the redness wth did this derm give me. This makes me think if I can use one of these creams for the PMP what would be best, aloe? I'm not sure because the latex parts on the PMP can't take any oil that's why it came with the silicone Lube that made me break out.

Awesome that it's working for you. Very quick results as well. Hopefully it keeps that up and causes the redness to decrease to normal levels overtime.

How many water based lubes have you tried for the PMP sluice/latex thing that still caused problems?

It was most likely the silicone lubes that started this whole reaction begining with the dry shriveled up head tip.

The lubes I tried with the PMP was the one that came with it.

Then Swiss silicone lube, then after seeing my head skin ever dryer I hoped sliquid natural silk diluted silicone/water formula would work but by then my head was shriveled up and hard.

I made it worse but I don't even want to talk about that...

It eventually got better but I was still using the wrong creams this whole time my skin was still healing.

After a long period of healing I decide to get the water base lube by sliquiid naturals and it was better but I was still having that red tip problem with the suction.

I believe it might have been the head tip skin reacting again to everything that's happened over this summer.

Next it got worse by me getting a rash on the shaft for improper use of the silicone sleeves.

I should have been in a remission period during the summer but things happen.

This day marks a new beginning for two reasons.

One is that I'm finally healing my skin the right way.

Second is the start of a 6 on 1 off foreskin restoration cycle including full retainment at night.

Thanks smerc, I was scared when the doctor said I wasn't supposed to be using a certain cream on my penis that I've been using on and off for a few months now.

Luckily I felt that something was up and made an appointment with the doctor who cleared things up.

Now as a bonus for my skin I have plastic wrap twirled around the VLC tugger without the cone (using medical tape) and it feels soothing. Restoration of my penis has begun on this day.

It's marked on my calender with an X meaning that something had been done and that the X chain must go on everyday so I can see my accomplishments on the calender.

Now the little boxes for the numbers on the calender are given an X for accomplishing my pe goals (foreskin restoration, manual growth, skin restoration).

The larger regular boxes on the calender are for body workouts, ect.

On the subject of the discoloration I also hope it clears up back to normal over time I'm going to do a 2 week cycle with the hydrocortisone and see what happens.

I will report back and signs of clearing up.
