I'm a dumbass

Well here goes….
Tuesday I made the biggest mistake of my PE career. I was pumping with my gravel cleaner tube. I don’t use a pump, just the vacuum from my mouth and plug the hose with a finger to maintain the vacuum. I was using a heating pad and I was packing over 8 inches. (note: I’m doing pumping for mostly length and head size.) I had done 3 sets of 5-7 minutes with 2 min breaks in between sets. I did one last set and applied two cold packs. After about 2 minutes with the cold applied I felt a stinging sensation in my head. I unwrapped the insulating towel and cold packs to reveal a horrifying sight. I had developed two huge water blisters about the size of marbles. No pain at this point. I’ve been doing fairly intense pumping sessions like this and never even had red spots appear. I believe I just got overzealous and sucked a little too hard on the cold set.

Here’s the real dumbass part. In my panic I decide to pop the blisters and drain the fluid. After draining the fluid from each blister I begin to feel a mild throbbing pain. I’m really worried about healing this as quick as possible so I do like Ive done with blisters on my hands and feet. Im thinking that Im a pretty tough guy and I can suffer a little pain if it will speed up the healing process. I peeled the loose skin off one blister and poured hydrogen peroxide on it. HOLY SHIT that had to be the second most pain I’ve ever been in. It felt like I had sliced my dickhead off with a boxknife or something.

Anyways needless to say I cant PE/masturbate/f#ck for a while. Right now I’m just applying triple antibiotic 4-5 times a day and sleeping in the nude. Does anyone have any suggestions on speeding my recovery. I guess the good news is I don’t have a girlfriend/wife that needs it from me anytime soon!! I appreciate any help, comments, sympathy, or ridicule.

P.S. I shouldn’t have peeled the skin off. That one just rubs on my pants all day long and will probably take twice as long to heal. Yeah, I know. I’m a DUMBASS!

Damn. I think you will easily win the Most Painful Penis Experience award this year.

Keep the skin moist with ointment. Maybe put a bandaid or some other non-stick bandage over it so you can walk without making funny faces.

Good luck. :)

This is a herbal remedy that’s worked good for me:
Go to an herb store (you know, the Mexican ones that sell witchcraft stuff) or any other place that carries Lavender for tea. It’s pretty cheap, maybe under a buck per ounce.

Lavender looks like little bluish seeds. You make a tea with a gram per cup of water, any way you want. I boil it in the water and then strain it.
As soon as the water looks medium red, it’s ready. Wait until it’s warm and dip it for around 5-10 minutes.
Lavender has amazing healing properties. In the old days, they would use it on cuts from swordfights. You can use a little shotglass full and store the rest in the refrigerator and reheat it in the microwave for 15 seconds. I use it for a soak after my PE sessions.
Another herb that’s good is red clover. Same method.
You can put some gauze around your unit and tape or bandage it so it won’t rub on your pants and you could lift it a little on the bottom to urinate. Maybe stay away from jeans because of the fly being so rugged on the glans. I have this information because I’ve been healing a cock head piercing that takes around a year to heal properly, so I’ve been there.

I have used lavender on burns but not on open sores. I have to say it worked great on the burns. It also comes in an essential oil form. I’m sure that would be much more expensive form than the tea, but it is a good medicinal item to have around.

good luck. Ouchhh it hurts just thinking about it.

Does lavender help with discolouration?

shortwide,

Sorry for the water blisters. One experience with those will cure any guy from overusing pressure when pumping. Thanks for sharing the bad experience, so that others on the forum can benefit from your situation. I’ve been there and done that and learned from it too. Just keep the area well lubricated with ointment, airhang as much as possible and time will take care of it.

Does this tell us anything at all about the wisdom of using a system with a gauge? People don’t understand the power they can generate by sucking on a tube. But if you think about hickeys (I can’t believe there’s a web site to teach you how to do them) the mouth is strong enough to bruise human skin and the suction used to create hickeys probably isn’t anywhere near the amount you can apply to the tube. Something to think about.

Ouch!

A website on how to give hickeys? What will they think of next?

Shortwide,

Man, never drain and peel on a blister… It will heal back by it self…

Anyway, do not worry to much, new skin will grow. You only need to maintain the wound very clean and sterile (but do not even consider to use alcohol :D :D :D ). There is a salve called “silvederma” used for burns that will help you

Mick, about it helping with discolouration,

I don’t know if it would help with that but I can say that I’ve been wet- jelqing pretty intensely for around 4 weeks and tea-soaking afterwards around half the time. I haven’t had any red spots or discolouration. I think it’s worth a try. Good luck.

P.S. I also recommend putting some kind of oil like: grapeseed, vitamin E, tea tree oil afterward.

westla90069 is right on the money. This should be taken as a cautionary tale, not just something that happened to some other poor shlub. (Not that I’m calling you a shlub, Shortwide… you know what I mean.)

To maintain a MOIST but healing environment, get some NON-LATEX (unlubricated, if you can find them) condoms, and use them to keep your antibiotic ointment and other emolients in place, and minimize rubbing on your clothes. (natural skin condoms may work just as well - and again, avoind the lubed ones.) [the lubrication used may be an irritant and the latex may be as well]

You might consider wearing some FORM HUGGING underwear to keep your dick from moving around alot when you are walking or as you are just sitting.

Continue to allow your donk to be exposed to air regularly.

Do not be suprised if your heal sites are tender for some time. This area is, as we know, very vascular and has a very sensitive nerve plexus associated. You will be tender in the head for quite some time yet.

Good luck and get well soon!

I really appreciate everyones input.

Matti-
Yeah I wish I hadn’t popped and drained them. I really hope that I will not ever need this information again.

Westla-
I didn’t think I was using too much pressure because I wasn’t getting any red spots. It just seemed like a good pressure with no pain (until the blisters formed). I will purchase a Mity-Vac before resuming my routine.

Oh, and almost one week and the area of the blister is about half of its original size. I think two weeks might be a full recovery.

NOTE: I have more pain/irritation when I apply the triple antibiotic because it softens the scab and it soon rubs off. If I go without I have very little discomfort (compared to before) because the scab stays hard and seems to protect the unhealed skin. I will continue to put the antibiotic ointment on in the evening and at night but during the day when tighter clothes are involved I will just wear boxer briefs. I’ll let y’all know how it goes.

Someone mentioned not to use alcohol, I second that, but not just for wounds on the penis, dont get alcohol near your cock. I had some of that hand sanitizer stuff thats about 40% alcohol. One night I had just finished rubbing one out and was sitting back naked. I just washed my hands off and grabbed the sanitizer off the desk and put some on. Well…before it completely dried I put my hand on my cock and………sweet jesus. I’ve never felt such an intense pain in my life, I was literally jumping around my room trying to blow on my johnson. In retrospect I guess it probably looked pretty damn funny.

Never could figure it out, there were no wounds down there. I did just jerk off but its not like I rubbed the skin raw. Sorry, off topic :)

There’s no telling what I looked like but it must have been hilarious.
