Getting back to PE after one year decon break... Worried about my unit (Young PE)

Hello Thunders! Let me first tell you a little bit about my story of PE. I found this site when i was 19 years old - about 1,5 years ago. I started with the newbie routine and my newbie gains blew my mind. Just after a few months i went from 6,5 inches BPEL to 7 and my girth increased by a little which was amazing and even made me feel a difference with my gf, even though it was only like 0.1-02 inches. My shaft became more vascular and felt stronger, my flaccid started to hang better and as you can believe, PE became my new found love.

I started in April 2017 - PE’d all summer but during the early fall i noticed something on my glans. It was like a little split or crack on the skin of my glans - which surprised me since my glans was always very smooth and shiny and lubricated. I stopped all PE but i got a few more of these cracks/lines on my glans over time, or at least they didn’t go away or got any better. They are pretty much all on the upper side, closer to the shaft. While getting these cracks - my glans also started to become more dry, like it lost its ability to lubricate itself the way it had been before and i started to apply coconut oil and vitamin e oil to it to help with the dryness.

When i kegel and fill up my glans to the max - these lines pretty much disappear, which makes me feel a bit better about it. But when i am a bit dry and just has a normal erection without kegeling, my glans just looks bad - dry, flaky with cracks/groves running over it. And when blood is leaving the glans the glans look like it is 100 years old…
Before proceeding i want to say that i am uncircumsized.
I feel like this could be that i messed up a vein which reduces blood flow in to the glans, making it harder to fill up and therefore more dry which has caused these cracks? I dont know.

I have read around a ton on what could be done to get back to the state of shiny smooth glans but it seems like it is difficult, here is what i have tried.

Abstaining from all PE and masturbation for long, just letting it be - did not work. Although the lubrication came back after like a week, but did not help the cracks.
Applying coconut oil and vitamin e oil every night/day - obviously helped with dryness but did not work to make it better.
Went to the doctor, he said use hydrocortisone cream - did that for a week. When applying it felt like it would make a difference but after the week it was the same as before.
Letting it sit under the foreskin for as much as possible - did not make a difference.

Using silicone scarsheets - actually only did this for like a week but freaked out and stopped since when i took it off it looked like it had formed a line on my glans, but it was not permanent. Thinking about doing this again since one guy here at thunders said this plus using vitamin e oil healed his “cracks” but he was circumsized, making me think that my foreskin would be better than scarsheets, but maybe worth a shot anyway.

Should i do PE considering i might have already messed up my unit a bit? I really want to start again…
Or should i see the doctor again? I feel lie they neglect you if you dont have any pain, this is strictly cosmetic to me.
Could this be that i fucked up a vein causing decreased bloodflow to glans? Many guys seem to have got this “soft glans” injury which might correlate.
Or is it just skin rash?

I know i bombarded you guys with questions but i just need any input i can get, i could bring out some pictures if it would help.

I find it interesting that you have to kegel to fill up your glans. I do as well. Shouldn’t the glans be filled without having to kegel though?

Thats what i mean. It feels like before all of these issues the glans would fill out itself easily when erect, now it is like i have to hold a kegel to make it fill up, if i dont i also see these ”cracks”.

I would describe them more as wrinkles than cracks. I figured it came from pumping a lot and not having enough blood to fill my glans. My only remedy was to pose weight. Still working on that.

Yes wrinkle is a better word… did you mean lose weight? How should that help?

If it helps you feel better regarding the “cracks/wrinkles” i think it’s a common thing regardless of PE i had them before i started, i’m also not cut.

Regarding the kegel to fill the glans, it may be an eq problem? Try abstaining from porn and ejaculating for a week see how it goes.

It feels good to hear actually! I think i might make this issue bigger in my head than what it actually is. You are right that this might be an eq problem, but i have quite strong erections still, it just feels like the blood won’t really ”reach” the glans as well as it should. I am soon going to cut out porn completely and start slowly with the newbie routine.

Actually doing PE again might make this issue better since slow and steady PE seem to really help with EQ and blood flow.
This leads me to two more questions if anyone would like to answer or give their input:

1: is there a way to jelq/stretch or any other manual exercises WITHOUT applying to much pressure/stress to the glans?

2: Do you think the doctors could somehow x-ray or do any other test to see if bloodflow to the glans has been damaged in any way?

I thought it meant I wasn’t at 100% eq. Being in better shape, quitting porn and exercising would give me stronger erections. Also trying to use more fish oil. I saw a pornstars vitamin regimen, and decided to take more vitamins

Sounds like nothing to worry about.

During the maximal phase of an erection (near ejaculation with complete rigidity) the glans will fill up as if it were lightly clamped - because it is getting lightly clamped by the skeletal muscles at the base of the penis (IC and BC muscles, in other words the kegel muscles). So kegeling at a lower phase of erection can create that glans fill sensation that will usually only happen naturally when at peak arousal.

I think we notice this more when we PE because we spend more time playing with our cocks at below maximal erection, half an hour or whatever it may be of PE exercises - whereas prior to PE or for guys who don’t PE, they are often just racing straight to the finish line of masturbation. So they are at peak pressure with full glans pressure every time.

Mechanically, it should be absolutely fine and will perform normally during sex. Just one of those things a lot of guys notice more when they start to pay more attention to PI’s. Hopefully that’s what your situation is anyway.

As for keratinization of the glans it’s extremely common (inevitable?) for circumcised men. I think it’s also common for uncut guys as they get older, but not sure on that one. How much flaccid skin coverage do you have? If it’s only partial coverage that might explain it. It’s also nothing to worry about, only cosmetic. Some guys try to change it by increasing their flaccid skin coverage to shield the glans and keep it smooth.

First of all, thank you for the great response, the first part made me feel comfort and i completely agree! I tell myself to that this is something no girl will ever notice, and since it is only cosmetic i shouldnt really worry to much and just leave it.

But about that second part, my foreskin covers pretty much the whole glans, and most definitely the part where these wrinkles/cracks are most visible.
I think the point of view from circumsized guys all over the internet is that ”if you just have foreskin covering your glans, it will be lubricated and smooth and sensitive” but thats not the case for me. Many people even seem to think it’s quite strange that a keratinization is happening despite having foreskin covering the glans.
