Blood Blister From Clamping

I think I must have caught a tiny bit of skin in the hinge of my clamp, because after my session I noticed a small, dark blood blister on the underside of my shaft. The weird thing is that there was no pain at the time, and there’s no pain now. It’s also pretty flat. I’m guessing I just need to lay off the clamping for a few days while it goes away, then be more careful with my wrapping when I resume. Anyone else have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.

I’ve had one on the top of my finger, got caught in the the hole of a striker plate.

After a few weeks the blood underneath had dried up, the upper layer of skin came off, caked blood came out and shiny new skin was underneath.

If it’s a standard cable clamp you’re using then take it apart and round of the sharp edges at the hinge with a small file or sandpaper, it’s those edges that are the problem, this fixes it completely.

Thanks for the advice guys. And I’ll definitely examine the cable clamp for sharp edges. It’s been a couple of days and most of the dark discoloration is gone — it’s just a slight bump now. I’m going to take a few more rest days before resuming my routine. I think that should do the trick.

If it was just caused by being nicked by the clamp, you should be good to go in a few days. If it was caused by pressure build up in the veins, you may find it keeps coming back for a while every time you PE, and a much longer lay-off followed by slowly increasing pressure over time is needed to stop it coming back. I’ve had both types.

I got two small ones from very mild clamping, caused by pressure. It was just a bit of edging while wearing a clamp, for maybe ten minutes, but without padding inside the clamp. I had to wait over a month before I could use my Bathmate again, because it would suck those blisters right out again even with low pressure. Now two months later I can use Bathmate, a cockring, but I’m terrified to try clamping again.

Should I stay away from clamping?
