Shedding the Snake: Peeling to Remove Discoloration

Huff, Hobb, Narc, Alf,

Any thoughts on the best engorgement to do a peel? Is it better to peel whilst erect or semi-erect so that the skin is taught and the burn more even, or does it work just as well flacid?

Chad,

You didn’t ask me, but I would think erect applications would work better, even if the burning eventually makes it impossible to maintain an erection, because you’re more likely to apply the goo evenly.

Good luck with the engorged application. Once this stuff is on I am betting you lose your woody very fast. I think the better approach is to be completely limp, pull out on the glans, twist left and right to hit the spots you want, and watch the timer. Using the milder wart remover, and just leaving ot on for 5 minutes, seems to be a very controlled way to do this. Using this method, the discoloration took longer than it did with my over-application of the 25% liquid solution, and it seems to be taking longer to peel. I currently have no discomfort, and it is slowly sluffing off (I apply vasoline to the affected areas once in the morning). When I did it with the 25% liquid and left it on too long, the results were rapid. The peel took out almost all of the discoloration, but new peels without the preceeding darkness kept happening in waves days/weeks later. Caused me some concern, don’t you know — thought I would be a peeler forever. Be patient and do it right (slowly).

For me (not Huff), I am hoping that two will be the magic number. First one took out the bulk. The second precise-hit application may finish it up (wishfull thinking?). I did a global hit the first time, using the 15%, then 25% application until I frosted pretty much all over. I ignored the recommended time limits — I think I did 12 minutes overall. Left me in a scary place for some time. At first it was looking good. Then it started peeling again and again over several weeks. The peeling was weird. My penis would look normal. Then it would look dry and have some sluffing of skin. Then it would look normal, again. Then again some more sluffing. That finally stopped some weeks later. I decided to do it again, but much more prudently, to get rid of the remaining darkenss predominately in the circ scar area.

It took a while sir. My dick was badly discoloured. I’m probably the most susceptible person on the whole board to this malady, and with just a couple of PE workouts, my penis can darken quite significantly.

There’s unfortunately no way I can simply answer your question. During my peeling saga, there was hardly a day when some part of my dick wasn’t either peeling, healing, or in that post application “dark scab freaky looking phase.” Once a region had been peeled to my satisfaction(unlike Hobby, I see no problem with nudging things along their way - but this should be done ever so gently) and allowed a few days respite - for the true effects of the peel to be discerned and not just the post Peel Pinkish “High” - I would examine it carefully, earmarking those stubborn patches for further treatment, then, wait a few more days for the tenderness to subside, before reapplying. Without this delay, you invite excrutiating pain upon re-application.

All told, It took me about a month.

I do agree with ModestoMan and Alffie that it would be nearly impossible to keep an erection during the burn. While preping for the burn I let warm water run over my penis for several mins. I found that my penis turtles less from the pain if you do that. I manually stretch out the skin just enough so that it doesn’t wrinkle up (I believe someone mentioned that earlier).

I’m going to attack the discolored region in the next few days, letting my penis heal a bit more. If it doesn’t show a significant improvement, I might want to upgrade my arsenal. Alffie can you link me to the site that you bought the 25% solution? It would be much appreciated.

And out of curiosity, have you gentlemen continued to do PE? For me, I have been doing them for about 3 years, with the diabolical discoloration showing up in the last few months I did it (which prompted me to stop). I don’t plan on continuing if/when my discoloration gets eradicated. But then again, I change my mind a lot.

Here you go.

I did not get this off ebay, but I noticed they also have sellers there

I can’t tell if this new skin (the sample spot I burned) is lighter or what. It’s kind of hard to tell what color it is. The complextion of my penis skin changes throughout the day which makes it difficult to gauge whether my new skin changed for the better. I try to look at it at different angles and different lights- I dunno. I think it might be hyper-pigmentation, but only slightly. It has this kind of reddish tint to it. I was contemplating burning all of my discoloration, and the idea is still up in the air, but I might just redo the same sample area, or do another smaller sample area.

Thanks for the links Alf.

I stopped a while ago. And until I can discover how to avoid discoloration, I’ll remain stopped. I would love to have a huge cock, to flap around in some poor broad’s face, but I’m not shook up at the prospect of this not happening. Better gains would have made my decision far more difficult, however.:) It was a no brainer: minimal to no gains and a darker dick = big waste of time.

Don’t re-burn the same area you just hit too soon. You have got to give the new skin time to heal/thicken/mature, and let the new cells below develop. Hobby suggested two weeks from time of initial burn. Some of the “medical-type” sites I visited on the Web also suggest waiting awhile before new applications are applied.

It’s been about 2 weeks since my initial burn, and as I stated before I don’t know if it’s a slightly better or worse than before. The treated area has this red tint to it, damn it irritates me. I’ve decided to lay off doing another treatment for a while, and observe the red tinted skin. Well I’m going to use this time to prep myself for the next burn. I plan on applying retin A and Hydroquinone to the discolored area and recently burned skin. Supposedly this thins out the skin’s surface layer, allowing the solution (whatever you use) to penetrate more deeply and evenly, or so I read. I think this is what doctors instruct people who will be having a chemical peel. I’ll probably be doing this for the next 3 weeks. I just hope this red tint will fade by then, if not I might reconsider not doing the burn again.

Maybe your skin type is the difference? Your pink/redness should eventually fade back to a normal skin color. Perhaps this requires more time for those with darker skin tones. I don’t know. All I have to go on is my experience combined with what others post here.

Realize this shaft peeling business is still experimental.

A word of warning: One of the properties of retin A is that it stimulates hair growth. If you do decide to use retin A, it could cause hair to grow up the shaft of your penis (granted that it’s used on your penis, otherwise that would be fucked up if you used it on your arm and come out with a fuzzy penis). I used it a while back for about a month. From my experience it did increase the frequency and number of hairs on my shaft, but not too significantly. The hair goes about 1 to 1 1/2 up from the base. This is comming from someone that was pretty hairless all over. I still like to report that balls are still hair-free.

I used Retin-A on my face and didn’t get more hair growth. If it were known to increase hair growth men would be rubbing the stuff into their scalps daily.

I suspect you were paying more attention to your shaft skin and the hairs growing from it than usual.
