Possible bump on right of penis base

Hi all!

Not exactly sure when, got this slight bump form around January. It only really shows up when erect enough (80%-100%), and not sure if it is actually a bump. No pain or feeling to touch.
However this causes potential problems for pumping, because if it gets sucked all the way into the tube, it then causes the penis curve. I also assume this is where my curving is happening.

Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance!

Will hopefully get this looked at next week, but do you think this is an onset of Peyronie’s Disease? It’s just to the right of the shaft, on the base.

Presumably there’s not a whole lot that can be done once Peyronie’s is already occurring.

Skin getting sucked inside the tube, it happens while under pump pressure.

Is that relatively normal, or should it be avoided at all costs?

Normal. A tighter cylinder could avoid most of the pubic skin to be sucked him, but can’t see a point on it.

As long your testicles aren’t getting sucked in, all good.

It looks normal DarkEngine, it’s hard to prevent some of the skin to get sucked in.
But if I may, I would advise you not to use this kind of silicone sleeve at the base, sure it helps to get a good seal, my first pump had one like that.
Discoloration or darkening of the skin is one of the major side effect of pumping, which isn’t a huge deal, but because of the sleeve it would stop a few centimeters before the base of the penis making a clear almost straight line of clear than darker skin and look really stupid.
If you don’t use a sleeve the darkening may still happen ( firegoat rolls helps ) but starting at the base mainly in the pubic hair area, making it less noticeable.

Happy pumping.

Thanks for the reply, all!

It seems a lot of responses so far have been about the pumping specifically. The thing is, only one of the two photos actually got through. The other was the penis by itself.
I’ve taken a better one to show what I’m actually worried about, and hopefully this one gets accepted.

Also, thanks for the heads up regarding the sleeve Picodon. This is actually a replacement one, because the original sleeve that came with the pump was too big the girth. (And given this was my second pump bought, on top of being the only I could find with a gauge outside of expensive ones, I had to go with what was available at my budget) But I know what you mean by awkward looking tan lines.

DarkEngine,

Regarding your bump it’s really hard to tell what it is, if it’s not painful or has a weird color, it probably means that you shouldn’t worry too much about it, but definitely make sure it doesn’t get worst.
When did it start showing? is it only after pumping ? How long do you pump for ? What force ? Is it more in the skin or in the flesh ? Did you try not pumping for a week or more ? Did you give your penis time to heel or rest ?
I sometimes have a bump on the left side an inch just under the gland forming after what has to be too much pumping, it’s as if this particular spot has a more fragile or loose portion of skin that tends to swell more than the rest, kind of like the tip of the foreskin. Is it something like that ? When this happens I try to take it easy with my pump for a while, it helps. But I see it mainly as a warning sign that I pumped too hard or for too long.

By the way, your penis looks bigger than your stats, nice and healthy looking unit.

I’m not fully sure when it started showing — I became aware of it around 12th Feb or so.
I typically pump between 4hg-5hg between 15 to 30 minutes. The bump seems more in the skin, since there’s no sort of feeling when touching it. No firmness.
Since discovering it, I haven’t tried a week off pumping, no, and haven’t given my penis much rest time. That said, I did take nearly a week off around Christmas because doing the exercises felt awkward at where I was staying.

If anything, really, it’s more the curving of the penis that bothers me. Concerned it could get worse with continued PE. Heard that stretching could fix it, but honestly not sure.
Mentioned the bump because I noticed it along with curving, and assumed they’re connected.

Thanks for the compliment, by the way! Will give it a measure in March.

One extra bit: Anything higher than 5hg (usually 6.5hg) and the bump then gets sucked into the pump.

DarkEngine,

When it comes to your curve it’s very light, but if you started PE without it that is a bit of a concern. PE shouldn’t give a curve, some U stretches or other particular types of stretches might helps with curve issues, but I started without any curve and my stretches or very basic. Maybe an other member with more experience in that domain will guide you better than me.
I didn’t start with a curve like I said but my penis was aiming right, and PE did straighten it. It’s very different than a curve but that I know is very fixable.

If you haven’t taken a proper break since Christmas, definitely take one it can not do any harm and you need to see if the bump goes away, if you think it’s in the skin it may be vein related. If there is no positive evolution I would advise you to show it to a doctor, just in case.

Your pumping pressure is nice and low, so it’s not it, or at least shouldn’t be. 15-30 mins in the pump is fine too but maybe break it down in two or three sessions, this is how I do my pumping routine, more sessions, less time in a row, lots of massages in between to get the blood flowing and help decrease some skin swelling before pumping again.

I honestly doubt the bump and the curve are connected, if it is, it definitely means that the bump isn’t in the skin but your penis.

Take care of that unit.

Thanks so much for your input there Picodon! Really appreciated.
The NHS does mention that it’s normal for the penis to curve slightly to the left or right when erect (!?) and I don’t have any pain when erect, which is the tell-tale symptom of Peyronie’s Disease.
Still, I’ll visit a GP to have it looked at (along with potential ED) They probably won’t see it as serious enough to warrant a Doppler, but will give it a shot.
Something to note with PE is that I haven’t done much stretching. I actually wonder if this is at least partly why the curve might have happened — the stretching wasn’t there to prevent it, as I understand that stretching exercises has helped a number of people straighten out the penis.

Actually would like a break (how long would you advise for?), but concerned that this will undo all progress made so far, as I understand that people can loose progress quite quickly with inactive PE.

DarkEngine,

Take at least a week off, I know it’s hard sometimes mentally to take one, you feel like you are missing out, or that It will shrink during that time.

The fact is that I had some great gains post break, I forget to tell myself that sometimes. I tried to naturally take a break when it is the more obvious, like when a holiday, visiting someone, long weekend, traveling…I find it harder not to do my PE routine when you are in my everyday life because it’s part of it.

You have two good reasons to take one I guess, good luck with that.
