Anybody else have discoloration at the affected area's of their penis? My penis slightly changed color especially where the deformity is, I also sometimes get red dots under the skin of my penis which seems to be a sign of some kind of internal bleeding or something? The shade of my penis also got darker over the months/years as my peyronies symptoms got worse. When my penis hurts the most and feels inflammed I also notice it looks unhealthy, almost like a purple blueish color. Is this something that happens to other people with peyronies or penile fibrosis as well? I injured myself jelqing (it was years ago when I did it though) so maybe my symptoms are a little different from most people on the forum, but I can't imagine I'm the only one dealing with this. I still have pain and worsening of the deformity years after I quit jelqing and the progression is very gradual. I also have days where my penis looks relatively healthy, but during the days I have inflammation and pain I also notice that the skin is looking quite unhealthy. I have only ever seen this same shade of blue/purple and red dots in a picture of someone who had peyronies and also diabetes. I'm not sure, but I think I may have damaged some veins/arterier in the past because of jelqing and overpumping inside of a VED. Wish I could go back in time, but as of now it seems there's not much I can do to keep it from getting worse. The only real noticeable thing that impacts this is a lack of sleep. If for whatever reason I don't get enough sleep all of my problems are worse. I also tried to see if food and exercise had any positive or negative effects on this, but so far I haven't really noticed any impact wheter I exercise or eat healthy. The only thing that seems to make a difference is how often I masturbate and how much sleep I had. I wish I would at least stop getting worse,, but so far no luck.

Red or purple veins under the skin are usually lymphatic or vascular issues. Clear this up with fasting, low blood sugar/insulin diet, and exercise or even drugs.

Red or purple spots that seem to be under the skin are usually herpes type 1 (genitally) or 2, if you have had an outbreak in the past. This is a bit complicated but I have done a lot of research on this and spoken with many men with this symptom.

When you say "eat healthy" what do you mean? For reference, even eating ZERO carb, I can cause inflammation with too much protein. A truly healthy diet can seem quite extreme compared to what we are used to.

I'm not knocking you here Neo. Not trying to troll either. But I've heard this too many times not to say something.

That type of diet is impossible and unachievable and makes you feel terrible. You feel deprived, unhappy and awful. And the prep is overwhelming. At least that is how I experience it.

You have to read a tremendous amount and watch all sorts of videos and track it in a food diary and it ends up consuming your life. I should know, I did this for a very long time. You almost end up being like a food chemist and it leads to something they are throwing around as a term now, "orthorexia," an obsession with healthy eating.

I agree with you that sugar is terrible, but peyronie's is genetic. I would have gotten it anyway and so would every single other person here. Because every male on the planet would have it if it was caused by "inflammation." Everyone for better or worse eats a ton of sugar all the time. All of earth does. Because to not eat it is too difficult.

I seriously doubt anyone here has a "perfect" diet. That is not achievable unless you live in a monastery and have nothing else to do.

I don't have herpes. I'm talking about bruise like red dots, it's hard to explain, but often happens after masturbation for example. And I know, "healthy" is a broad term but I only eat eggs, fruits, vegetables, brown bread, peanutbutter, butter, nuts, peanuts, skyr, tuna, beef, etc. No junk food at all and the only sugar I consume is from fruit and sometimes a littld honey to add flavor to my food.

Samsung, I've been keto for 3 years and feel full, healthy, and energetic daily. You are completely uninformed, but it's not your fault.

I'm not talking about keto. I'm talking about perfectionism and a "perfect" diet. It is unachievable for most people and it gets far too much attention here. Nobody ever talks about practical matters and all they talk about on this forum is keto and fasting. Look, here we are nattering on about diet when the OP asked about discoloration. I'm not uninformed. In any way whatsoever. Don't insult me. If you want insults keep going.

I have experienced this. Alot of discoloration, mostly on the affected traumatized side. I believe it is damaged blood vessels and also scarring?. I did hurt myself with restorex which i attribute to alot of my peyronies progression. I notice it more ofcourse in certain light. I have pictures from the beginning of peyronies to now and my penis is certainly darker in the affected areas.

I can see both sides.  I've been keto for almost two years although may have moved into low carb w no refined sugars.  This can be maintained by some individuals (and I believe is a healthy diet).  However, others will not find this diet realistic, they may wish to try other anti-inflammatory approaches such as supplements.  I don't think any one treatment approach (such as diet) will do much alone-but is best when adding other treatment modalities.  Let's all support each other's approach and what is manageable for them...humans are each unique and are different in what is workable for them.
