Permanent discoloration from vacuum hanging

Hi guys, I have had discoloration temporarily from vacuum hanging, but this time it is not clearing up. I have decided to quit PE due to having a full time job and also enjoying other hobbies, but also because I think this injury marks neat end point to finish with. I hung for over a year with no discernible gain. I would appear not to work for me, but by no means should this put anyone else off.

As for the discoloration, it is blotchy dark patches in appearance. This seems to be caused when the sleeve doesn’t seal properly and leads to a sort of “pulling” sensation on the surface of the glans and foreskin, which is highly uncomfortable but I used to “push through” the pain. Oh and I wrapped using micropore tape and lots of it, but somehow the vacuum still managed to damage the surface of my glans and cause discoloration.

The last time I hung was February and the discoloration hasn’t cleared up which will be problematic for paid for sexual encounters where I may be refused service because they think the discoloration is a symptom of an STD.

It is weird because in the past discoloration has cleared up after awhile, I’ve even had a blister which cleared up but this time it seems to have been one too many and times and my body has “adapted” by having the discoloration there on my glans permanently.

Thanks for the support on this website, it’s a great band of brothers!

I’ve also had bad discoloration that didn’t seem to clear up, I found a lotion that peels the skin after a week or two and

It cleared it up for me. Dm me if you want and I’ll send you a pic of the product.

I too had some discoloration and no gains. Was hitting it too heavy/too long/no heat. I took a long break and regularly massaged the area and it went completely away over time. I used a pinch type massage and admit it was semi painful but did the trick.

DMSO solution has been working well for me to reduce discoloration.

Do you use it straight out of the bottle or dilute it? I also have some dark spots on the glans from using vacuum pump in the past so I’m glad to see this thread. Thanks.

Thanks for the support, brothers! Unfortunately, hanging became a bit of a chore and I didn’t enjoy it anymore. Towards the end I was hanging with 6kg (13lb) which might have been too much but on the other hand it didn’t feel like it was doing anything even at that weight, so it seemed like going down weights wouldn’t make sense.

It is good to read that other brothers have had discoloration issues and got rid of it.

It’s interesting you mention about heat. I never tried out an IR lamp. Also I don’t know what you mean by a pinch type massage? Do you mean pinching your glans? The discoloration on my glans looks like burst blood vessels under the surface. It is red/purple and blotchy in nature.

Did you hang with heat and start gaining? Heat is just tricky to set up, that’s why I never got around to it myself.

I use a 70% solution which has a spray nozzle. Just spray it on, some firegoat rolls to get good even distribution. Wash hands really well and let cock dry.

I read somewhere that DMSO loses its property of easily penetrating skin if diluted below 70%.

I am using an old school heating pad but looking to upgrade to FIR soon. I put heat off a long time but wish I used it sooner. It helps but not magic though. I think it mostly helps “keep you in the zone” and hang longer. The “pinch massage” is for the skin. Imagine rubbing oil between your fingers. Pinch the skin and massage the discolored area. I tend to agree with you burst blood vessels/bruise so massaging is getting the blood moving out of the area. Seriously, it worked for me but not overnight. I am not one of those crazy success stories but I have gained. I go off and on but tend to think this is a 10 year plan and about 4 years into it.

Just to be clear I am referring to dark red blotchy patches on my GLANS not my foreskin. Is there any way to get rid of this discoloration in case folks though I was referring to my foreskin.

I’ve had a few guys message me for the product i mentioned, not sure if I’m allowed to post a link for a product here but I’ll do it. https://www.ama … /dp/B01MXLF8TY/

I found if I used it at least once a day it would make the skin flake off and the old dark spots come with it, similar to sun burn. I found if I put a silicone sleeve on for at least a few hours right after it would make it work faster (maybe cuz it didn’t evaporate or cuz it stayed moist, not sure). Also it burns to get on your balls so be careful.

I’ll see if I have any before and after pics to share so you guys can see the discoloration I’m referring to. Good luck everyone.

Sorry I really don’t have any pics of when it was bad, but it got much darker than the top pic, and the bottom pic is more recent after having used the lotion.

8by5.5, did you have pictures up and removed them, or are they just not showing up for me?

Have you heard of other testimonials to using this product?

When apply once per day, how long did you leave it on? How many days until it would flake off? Was the skin sensitive for any time afterwards? Did you start with just the packaging instructions/expectations? Trying to get a sense of how this fits into a PE and sex routine. Super thanks in advance!
