Has no one tried low concentrations of salicylic acid

I doubt prolonged mild exfoliation will do anything for the crud I and others have had. It just doesn’t reach deep enough.

Hydroquinone didn’t do anything for me.

When evaluating the efficacy of whatever protocol you’re using, keep in mind that in some cases, maybe most, discoloration resolves with time. If improvement is to be had from the tincture of time, applying Dr. Quack’s Penis Whitening Lotion daily likely won’t accomplish much.

“Improvement” is subjective. Skin tone of shaft skin is so variable that you can fool yourself into thinking discoloration is fading. Lotions or potions applied may slightly irritate the skin or otherwise cause a mild degree of flushing that camouflages the discoloration.

Hobby how long did you give the hydroquinone a shot? It’s important to remember that it merely inhibits production of new melanin, so it takes a long time before results are visible — you have to wait for the melanin already in your skin to naturally go down. For example, it’s most of the way through winter and still have pretty decent “color” just due to remnants of tan left from last summer even though I’ve been averaging only about like an hour a day outside since September (I’m talking about my arms, legs, face etc).

I agree with Hobby. I also tried hydroquinone for a few weeks. I thought it made an improvement, but one day I looked at my dick and saw the same old dark spots as before. So, whatever “improvement” it made was temporary and modest at best. In contrast, the effects of chemical peels are permanent and dramatic.

Use it with virgin olive oil.

A week ago I put tooth paste on my member to calm down my cysts as they are incredibly obvious with my discoloration. Funny thing is, I was suppose to wear it for a few nights in a row but I stopped the first day because it caused (or I thought it did) some irritation. A day later I started shedding skin on the back end of my penis (the bit that hangs on your testicles) and it lasted for a few days. I was worried but I didn’t consult a doctor, just to see weather or not it would calm down, and it did. Once it calmed down it turned a red-pinkish color, and looking at it today, that area is definitely whitter then the rest of my penis (some of my discoloration got pealed off in the process and it looks perfectly normal. Maybe even as good as new).
The tooth paste name, brand, and content are as follows:
Astera whitening
Contents:
Aqua, hydrated silica, sorbitol, PEG-8, terapotassium, pyrophosphate, sodium lautly sulfate, cellulose gum, titanium dioxide, aroma, sodium monoflurophosphate-1%, sodium saccharin, methylparaben, dichlorobenzyl alcohol , 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol-0,02%

Anyone know what caused the peal, and weather or not any of these substances will harm my member if I use it again?

Supposedly a good skin lightener.

No personal experience ….just came across while searching the net.
Testimonials sound impressive. Expensive stuff but worth cost if effective.

Also heard that old home remedy of castor /olive/peanut oils mixed together good for
removing liver spots and fading/blending splotchy skin. Cheap if it works.

Castor oil blended with baking soda proven remedy for mole and wart removal so
the oil must have potential for deep skin penetration.

First of all, if you are going to use the 17% salicylic acid, you cant put it over your entire dick at once. I don’t think I could keep it on for more than 30 seconds. It was just painful as hell. If you only do smaller areas though, it doesn’t hurt nearly as bad. It just means more applications.

Also I feel as if I was reading that lots of people won’t use hydroquinone because it has mercury in it. It seems as if the mercury inhibits melanin production and our bodies need melanin to be protected from ultraviolet rays. But if our dicks are always under clothes does that really matter? It also says mercury can cause long term damage, but I wouldnt use any longer than it took to lighten my skin.

I don’t remember. Probably about 2 months. My discoloration wasn’t from excessive melanin. It was hemosiderin staining.

I had half a bottle of wart remover left, so I filled it with water to dilute it. In seconds it all turned to a gelatin consistency. I’ll still try to use it, but I have no idea how effective it will be. I wonder if alcohol would have worked better than water?

Toothpaste has a high pH—it is a base (opposite of acid). Possibly, the skin responds the same way to bases as to acids—by burning and peeling. Cells don’t like anything with a pH much different from 7.

Yeah I’m using the hydroquinone for the general darkening with age that my dick has accrued. I believe this darkening is melanin. Some people’s dicks seem to darken as they get older and others don’t. Yeah, it’s important for people to distinguish between PE discoloration and this other which is melanin.

I do think the tretinoin likely would aid in PE discoloration though. Nothing like a full 17% acid peel obviously, but it does very considerably increase the turnover rate of your skin. As Retin-A this is it’s mechanism for basically preventing pores from getting clogged and infected. As Renova this is the mechanism by which it reduces effects of aging such as wrinkles. When you first start using it it actually causes some very mild peeling.

As a quick update. I haven’t done any PE in at least 8 months. I finally gave up on the low concentration of salicylic acid adventure. I just bit the bullet and used wart remover.

Unfortunately, like many others have experienced, the stuff seemed to have worked; however, a week later all my discoloration returned. I’m still looking for a cure, but I have little hope.

As a warning to anyone out there who still has a normal looking dick and is considering PE. Please, consider the fact that you may end up with a warped dick when all is said and done. Yea, I gained a little length, but was it worth it? I’m not so sure.
