Dark-Brown area on penis after 1 month bathmate use

Hello People,

I am very new too PE but did have alot of kegel experience (if that counts)

I am however slighty worried at what I noticed lately.

I have been using the bathmate water pump for almost a month. I started really easy, around 6-8 min flaccid and slowly build up with a full erection around 12 min in 4 weeks.
I always warmed up before I started pumping but not much else for my warmup.

My erections became alot better but I did notice I perhaps overdone it. I never really build up the pressure and most of time went to full pressure in seconds.
So lately I noticed my skin turned alot darker more brown under the shaft of my penis. Some veins also turned dark. Its almost like a dark line from top to bottom.

I quit for a week but it did not subside. Not even a little bit I think. Should this worry me? It does not hurt but my erections are a bit weaker. (could be because of anxiety of damaging it).
I will probably go the doctor for it just to be sure but I was curious what you guys think about this. I did read a few things about side effects like decolorization and bruising but I am not convinced that’s the problem.

Thank you!

For the Curious,

Went to the doctor today and it looked fine to him. Just needed some rest.

Lesson learned. Don’t be an idiot like me.

Discoloration is a side effect of PE. It’s not dangerous and it fades on it’s own after your stop PEing.

Get a conventional cylinder with a gauge for repeatable results.

Don’t beat yourself up. Most of us have overdone it multiple times.

Definitely, a pump with a gague will be much safer. Take your time when pumping up and stay away from max pressure with a bathmate. Max pressure in bathmate can be as high as 17 in hg. Safe zone for newbies is in between 3 to 5 in hg
