Shedding the Snake: Peeling to Remove Discoloration

Hey BD, I tried the acetilsalic acid with coconut oil and I had amazing results. Just read about this on this thread. Great tip

I’m glad that worked for you. I don’t remember hearing about that formulation, did it cause the deeper layers of skin to peel, or was it one of the gentler exfoliants / surface peels? Maybe you could share the product for others.

I also tried some creams at first, including ammonium lactate, and DMSO / VitC home preparations. I wanted to exhaust other options before going for the full peel. None of it worked until I took the plunge and tried the Salicylic Acid 17%.

There are theories around the forums of two different forms of discoloration. One is hyperpigmentation, i.e. increased melanin production / deposits. The other is hemosiderin, i.e. a form of iron deposits in the skin left over from dead blood cells.

So some discoloration treatment may work for one guy, while another treatment works for another. And perhaps one form can be treated with surface level peels while the other type requires a deeper peel.

My own case, the discoloration resulted from prolonged clamping sets with a wrap which both de-oxygenated the blood and squeezed it into the interstitial spaces. The discoloration had a distinct line where the wrap ended. Leading me to think I had hemosiderin discoloration.

I guess mine was from pumping at high pressure. It didn’t bother me at all until I saw pictures I posted on here. Too many marks, so I’m very happy. I’ll wait a bit longer to post before and after AAS lotion

the products i refered to are “wart remover” too, and they also have high concentrarion of SA (15-20%), the thing is they have also lactic acid or acetic acid too(in almost the same concentration as SA)

I am not a native engish speaker so maybe there are some discrepancies between what I want to say and what I actually writte

eivbisi,

I can only guess, I am no expert. But my guess is that with that concentration of SA, it would work similarly. The other acids may change the depth of the peel. I assume it would be slightly more aggressive than the SA alone, but not by much, given that it is an over-the-counter product. You could start by doing a small area, see how it goes, and proceed based on those results.

When you guys say “deep enough burn” do you guys do one more than one application within the same session?

If so, what’s the process? After leaving it on for 5-10m do it again? Or do you guys mean after the skin is healed, do another burn?

I think generally do another burn after the skin has healed. Probably not wise to do two burns in one session.

DmSO plus vitamic C work well so?

Hi there some new about this

I have a mixture of lactic acid and salicilic acid, I’ve tried it twice, I think I used too much of it in this one spot where I have some old pimple scars. It doesn’t seem to hurt, it does actually hurt after applying it, but it’s not that bad and it does light up the entire area after I scrub it off. I left it for both 5-15 min on, after I left it on for 15 min and with more of it than the first time I think I hurt my skin a bit where I put the most on.

I will try this further on, but it does seem like any PE activity would be a bad idea while using this.

I also have a theory on discoloration. I noticed it is not a problem when doing hardcore PE the right way. For example, edging with a metal ring on for more than 20 min, I’ve done that and even went over 40 min, discoloration isn’t a problem.

I think I really started to have problems with discoloration when I wasn’t performing PE at my highest EQ, not kegeling enough or with enough strength and while being horny enough to even pull the exercise off, pulling on my dick with vacuum while not being erect enough or even continuing with constriction and edging (clamping) and not being erect enough. Does anybody agree with me on this ?

I consider myself discoloration free even with an everyday, harcore PE routine if I am also edging right, firegoat rolling right, remain in a horny state and drink LOTS of water.

THIS THREAD IS SO OLD, I couldn’t believe my eyes when reading Mick’s post from 2020 ! I thought he wasn’t posting anymore for a long time.

This is Mick, I’m back, lol.

I check in here like once every six months.

I’ve recently had a few laser treatments on my cock. Pixel laser to be exact. Luckily I found a clinic nearby me with a really nice and understanding skin technician who is doing them for me.

The laser has not really lightened the tone of my skin overall… it’s pretty uniformly darkish. However it has made the skin a little more even and has lightened some of the darker patches.

Each time she increases the strength of the laser a little bit, so there’s still room to go stronger / deeper and hopefully get more of the pigmentation back to normal.

Overall most guys would probably say my colour is not too bad. I have a crazy eye for detail though and the imperfections bother me.

I’m posting some updated cock pics in my pictures thread where as you can see for the most part the colour looks pretty normal. The darker patches are on the underside which I don’t have pictures of.

I’m also looking into remedies as I have some quite small dark spots from jelqing years ago. In my experience you need some time at first to let your body sort out the broken capillary/whatever injury but then time doesn’t do anything to solve the discolouration, you need to intervene. Was checking out this thread earlier which seems to have a solution:

Hyperpigmentation - Hemosiderin - Pumping - Discolouration

Yet I’m also looking into other ways to address discolouration, do we at this point now in which layer of the skin does the blood end up trapped? Superficial fascia, areolar tissue? See the attachment for reference

I’m not convinced hemosiderin is the cause… otherwise some of the treatments that work for some guys (like acid peels) wouldn’t work… I don’t think at least.

I think it’s most likely post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, but who really knows.

This thread is aimed at the dark, long-lasting crud that develops over time from PE. I still think hemosiderin is the most likely explanation of it. Many examples can be found of other body parts with hemosiderin deposition that match what we see from this kind of PE discoloration. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may also be at play in some circumstances, which is not this type of discoloration but may lead to it.
