Spots

Hey Guys,

I have been pumping for about a month now using “pumping 101” as my guide.

I am definitely seeing gains!

My problem is I have some very small “spots” at the very base of my penis that become dark when pumping and later fade for the most part.
They return to dark next time I pump.

They are located on the very top of the base and resemble what I would call a hickey. At first I thought they were actually breaks in the skin but I do not believe they are.

Anyone have any advice on what I am experiencing and how I might avoid these or any potential dangers.

Thanks,
Toolguy

Could they be hair follicles, toolguy?

I suppose they could. Its very close to the area I shave.

I have pumped with “stubble”. Could this possibly lead to what I have described or is there another reason besides stubble?

My guess is it could. Watch for ingrown hairs in that area. The bottom flange of your cylinder presses the stubble into your skin causing hairs to grow sideways, into your skin, rather than straight up. Shaving more often helps.

avocet8,

Thanks so much for your prompt help. I will keep that area closely shaven and see if that helps aleviate that problem.

Thanks again!

avocet8,

That was it!!!

Shaved those bad boys close and have kept them close and no more problem.

Thanks again. Was a bit worried and so glad have this resource to go to. Makes all the difference in the world.

Thanks to Thunder for the site!

I have the same problem. It began as a small ingrown hair, but after pumping, it is now a very dark red/blackish spot. Is it recomended that I stop PEing until after my red spot goes away?Would it make a difference if I tweeze the base of my shaft rather than shaving it?
