Need advice, large spots on shafts

Hey all, I’ve been hanging with homemade bib hanger for 3 days now with 5lb weight. Last night after hanging 2- 20 min sessions, I noticed two small purple spots on shaft probley near the bottom of the hanger, closest to base. I jelq’d maybe 10 reps and the spots grew and raised up a little. Today the bumps are down but larger around, one about the size of my little fingernail, don’t know if this is a problem and if there is anything I can do to make it go away, theres really no pain, just not sure. Thanks for your help, not sure if this is where I should post this or not. Thanks

PS. Great forum, got info on it from a message board at mens health, current stats are 7*6, going for 9*7.

I’ve never hung, but from what you describe it sounds like yo burst some capillaries in the skin. This is kind of common, especially when doing high pressure moves with the skin drawn tight. Perhaps you duplicated this condition when you attached the hanger, I don’t know…

It should get better over time. In the future, to avoid discoloration, avoid tight skin/high pressure situations…

Try an extended session of a warm wrap. Whenever I have had similar spots I have been amazed at how quickly they went down after having a heat pad on them for a while.
