Update: Getting back into it after bumps/poor PIs, buying IR lamp, 0 gains so far.

Hey many of you may not know me because I only post so often and I’ve only been in the community for a few months. Well I did PE for about 4 months with no gains. I was doing the newbie routine. Then I noticed a straight line of little pin sized bumps around my glans that worried me. I thought I had herpes but after a lot of research I found out it’s something else (forgot the name but it comes from too much friction in the area, not sure if it has something to do with dirtiness too). Have any of you ever experienced this? I can post pics but it’s 2/3rds the way gone. It has been two weeks off due to these bumps plus some other poor PIs (skin irritation/hurting that lasted a day or two). I figured this time off would be good for my penis and smartly cautious. Also, some say they do PE, quit, and then come back and make great gains and attribute it to the time off. So fingers crossed on that.

I am also considering buying this TDP Far Infrared Mineral Heat Lamp: https://www.ama … /dp/B0032IUI6I/ . I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post links (remove it if you must) but it helps to get feedback on it. From what I’ve read 150W is optimal because you can put it closer to your penis without it burning. This is 250W so I’ll have to have it further, but run the risk of heating more body parts. For those of you with IR lamps, is this one okay? I do not care about the money at all, I just want optimal performance. I feel the big stand will allow it to shine down on my penis while I’m sitting on the toilet jelqing, or even while I’m standing up doing stretches.

If anyone wants to comment about similar bumps, their experience with deconditioning (taking time off), IR lamps, or anything else for that matter, I’d love to hear! 4 months with no gains and glans bumps isn’t the most encouraging, so anything helps!
