Lymph build up, Blisters, or Edema on glans

It’s been a little over a week since the blister formed and burst. The bandages are still absorbing fluid from the area, but less and less each day.

I hope to resume jelqing at the beginning of next week, but it will probably be another two weeks before I try the vacuum extender, again. I may start off with a vacuum-head ADS and ease into the extender.

I wish I had some solid advice for everyone on avoiding this injury, and just saying “be careful” seems like vague caution without specific warnings. I can only speculate that the time off, body oil, or the combination of the two caused it. If you want to be cautious, and I would totally recommend it after this, start with low vacuum levels/tension and time, building higher over time after any more than a week off. I would also caution against the use of body oils or other intensive moisturizers on the glans.

1 week’s rest and my glans have peeled and healed. I fitted a new sleeve to my vacads to avoid slippage and had a successful 4 hour ADS session this evening. Made sure I applied moisturizer afterwards.

slipstream - Good advice. Thank you :)

dongalong - Glad to hear you’ve healed. Congrats on the ADS session!
