Fordyce Spots Hurting

Sorry, I’m a new member so I am not able to post this in the injuries forum.

I just started PE on Sunday with the Newbie Routine. It is going great and I feel good about the routine. However, I have fordyce spots on the lower shaft of my penis and they are starting to get irritated and hurt like they are ripping or opening sort of like a pimple from all the rubbing of stretching and jelqing. I really don’t want to stop cause this is only the first week and I am being consistent so far I don’t want to mess that up.

Does this mean I’m jelqing to hard? I jelq to the point I feel something not to pain level. Just enough that I can feel the pull. I use lube when jelqing so I’m not dry jelqing.
