Discoloration

I’ve been pumping for about 18 years. Over these many years I’ve done almost everything wrong and solved almost every problem except one—discoloration.I have a really dark dick probably due from the bruising or overpumping years ago. Today, I stay about 4Hg. without any problems, but even that I believe causes some deeping of the color. A lot of threads have been started and none have come back with results and treatments that have worked.

So, what has anyone done that has significantly reduced the dark discoloration from pumping? Details such as how long it took or frequencey used would benefit everyone. Some good photos in the “Members Forum” would be great. Thanks Steve

Me personally, time off and AHA cream helped reduce it but not perfect.

Beyond that I think either something like Hydroquinone or an acid peel is probably the answer

I have had good luck removing short term discoloration caused by overzealous pumping, using a pretty snug silicone sleeve. I am not sure how this would work for discoloration that has been accumulated over a long time.

Capernicus1: What is AHA cream and Hydroquinone? Thanks, I older and these new things are just foreign.

I have only been pumping for two years, however, I have had good success with a mixture of DMSO/Iodine. There is a long thread on the benefits of using the DMSO solution, for improving ED resulting from scar tissue, and one of the side effects is the reversal of discoloration of the penis. The whole thread makes for a good read, but if you start around page 12 or so, it gets into the discoloration issue.

AHA is alpha hydroxy acid, there are loads of skin creams that contain it if you search round the net or your local chemist.
It slowly exfoliates the skin if you use it regularly.

Hydroquinone is a chemical found in a lot of skin lightening creams, you can get a 2 or 3% strength over the counter in some countries but it’s not available in most of Europe without a prescription.
If you want to use it I suggest you read up on the safety concerns first.

For the UK guys I got a 2% hydroquinone from Amazon but I haven’t tried it yet.

I’ve also used the DMSO + Iodine Experimental Treatment for Deflated Glans and Firm Flaccide DMSO Iodine solution that dtwarren1942 suggested for scar tissue but did notice an improvement in discolouration, it works but in the end it was the smell that stopped me using it.
I would also suggest reading the entire thread.

After 18 years it maybe beyond repair,try pumping with cocoa butter at low pressure.

That’s encouraging. However, other than you, does anyone actually have a problem with its tint. If it doesn’t effect your performance, who really cares. If I could gan an inch through pumping, I wouldn’t care if it turned green.

I was able to get a 4% hydroquinone and .05% tretonoin (alpha-hydroxy) cream made up by a plastic surgeon. This is basically Tri Luma (which is discontinued) minus the third component (steroid). Within a few applications, my unit got noticeably darker, then peeled like a SOB - it was a bit painful and the skin was raw, but within a week or ten days, my unit was bright and shiny. The skin was very thin though for a week or so after, so I suggest you don’t do any PE requiring erect levels above 50%.

I had pretty bad discoloration myself. Not sure if it’ll come back when I start pumping and clamping again, but so far erect jelquing hasn’t introduced any color at all. I was really surprised how quickly it worked as I had anticipated a month of nightly applications, but, as I said, it was only 3 or 4 applications. And a couple weeks after, my skin is super soft and supple.

Hydroquinone can be hard to get in the US, so plastic surgeons are a good bet. It was also significantly cheaper then trying to get from Canada.

Good luck!

Thanks ichibum, Dtwarren, caperinus and others. Good to know this info. My genetics being Italian make me dark just being in the sun for a short time. Gprent has been pumping for about as long as I and the photos on members page drew attention that I was darker than he. Thanks guys again.

Is pumping your only form of PE? I’m curious what kind of results you’ve achieved from it?
I find it’s the one kind of PE I have the patience for as I just enjoy doing it.

I like Monkeybar’s older version of stretcher and still use it often before pumping, Still jelq and manually stretch. Other than that, don’t do any hanging or other PE.

What kind of results have you seen though?

When pumped—8.0” X 6” Unpumped 7.25X 5.0 Up from

6X4.5 over the last 12 years or so. Most of the length is due from

the Monkeybar stretcher. I don’t have a set regiment nowadays. Just

every now and then. Recently into full package pumping which is enjoyable.

Hope this will help

I recently upgraded to Monkeybar’s new 3 Versin, and find it a bit more comfortable. I can now last 2 hours before I need to take a break whereas I could only last 1.5 hours with the older version 2. Just thought I would mention it.
