Anybody had this before.

Anybody ever had this happen before? I thought I had an infected hair folicle because the area was a little bit red, so I took a week off. Had a little bit of dry skin in the area, but no pain so, after a week I thought it was healed up. I normally pump for 45 minutes at 5-6hg. I have been pumping for years and have not changed my pressure or time in a very long time. Always same workout and always at same pressure. First time back in a week pumping, and at 25min (5-6hg) it looked like this. No pain at all, and not a blister. I guess I’m gonna be off pumping for a month. Stinks because I just broke the 5” girth mark on my mid-shaft area which was my smallest measurment. So, Any thoughts on what it is?

Looks like a large petechia or broken capillary.

Is there a hair in the middle? You should pluck it maybe… ?

It’s a boo boo and it will go away.

Is a bruise. No big deal and it’ll go away on its own.

I tried to see if there was an infected hair follicle, but can’t tell in this condition. I noticed before I took the week off that the spot got red during pumping a little, but after my warm down it was just a red spot about 1/4” in size. During the day when I checked it during restroom breaks at work, it was just a light pink circle with what looked like dry skin. I’m baffled!

It is just what you’d call a black and blue!

Yes, just black and blue, no pain and no blister.

Like I said it will go way.

I figured it would heal, just hate losing a month or so. Guess I’ll switch to stretching only until healed.

I also had it but way worst 😅.

If you want I have pictures in my progress thread.

I didn’t stop because I didn’t want to lose the gains so I just slow down the phase and went for short sessions with around 4hg pressure.

Not sure. Might be a bruise.

If there isn’t puss or drainage and swelling.

Leave it alone and keep watch on it awhile.

If there is swelling or it becomes more swollen and or red.

Go see a doctor.
