Is this an injury

I have been happily following the “newbie” routine for the past 10 days, however, this morning I noticed that a small, red, circular “mark” about 4-5mm in diameter,(of what looks like tiny red bruise), has appeared on the left top side of my shaft below my glans.

I have been applying the routine with care, not over-training etc., in fact, it has been very pleasurable. I “dry jelq” as I find this easy to do with my foreskin.

Is this “mark” something I should be concerned about?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Likely a burst blood vessel - do you jelq hard?

Hi mgus, not particularly hard but I can see the swelling of my penis, especially the glans, as I jelq. I also stop if I get a 100% erection, letting it subside before starting jelqing again.

Could the “bruise” have been caused by the stretching exercises?

Or perhaps I am enjoying jelqing too much? :)

I agree with mgus, it’s probably a burst blood vessle, the most common injury and you shouldn’t be alarmed about it. Take it easy for a few days with the jelqs and just do stretches in the meantime if you’d like. The fact that it’s red, indicates to me that it’s mild (probably because you have been careful, which is a good thing). If it was dark or larger, it would indicate a more severe burst, I think.

I’m a noob as well and this is my 2nd week on the program. I got the same little red dot on mine about 3 days ago and I took it easy with the jelqs for couple days and just stretched. It went away and now I can be back on my routine with full force.

Hi ascyltos,

Supposed that was a bruise. To get rid of it, take a break from Jelqing until that bruise fad away . In my opinion, dry jelq causes more bruises than wet jelq (correct me if I’m wrong). You might do wet jelq as your newbie routine by now.

Good luck,

Thanks guys, I will leave off jelqing for a couple of days and concentrate on stretching.

I know it’s very early days for me, but my penis already feels harder/better - probably a psychological factor - the excitement of anticipated results!

Just out of curiosity, does stretching alone increase girth size at all?

Stretch is not an exercise for girth, but it might make some tiny changes on girth department too, who knows. Don’t count on Stretch for enlarging your girth, OK? ;)
