Wounded crotch

[Asphyxia]

The base circle of the pmp has wounded my crotch, the pain is noticeable as the pmp is going upwards, so i now try to use it downwards, im thinking il give the belt a try.

Any idea why this happened or what to do about it while continuing traction?

Sometimes I get the same feeling (soreness) around my pubic bone area . I just know that the tension is a
little too tight or that I need to point things downward for a while. I then can usually wear it back up for another hour or so. I also found that wearing a cut off sock  rolled up provides a cushioned type of relief against the hard plastic of the base. Your soreness should subside within about 10 to 30 minutes. If it doesn't then you have the tension way too tight.

I have actual open wounds and now pimples are appearing there, i avoid shaving because it makes me itchy so i trim with scissors, i wonder if not being shaved might have caused extra friction there

Im thinking of using hydrogen peroxide to disinfect but im worried it might exacerbate the wound and delay healing

You may actually have ingrown hairs that are now infected. I am shaved in the area where the PMP base sits. You should use some hydrogen peroxide to promote some healing. Also use some triple antibiotic ointment . It will help. You may have to lay off of using the device until you are healed up.

I'm shaved and don't experience this problem. Are you using skin caring products? I use an skin oil and that keeps my penis and balls smooth and healthy.

Didnt use oils, got castor oil maybe il use that after i solve this current issue.
I have mupirocin 2% ointment, is that good enough?

I think il use the belt instead of not using the device, first time using it now, feels weird and im anxious because i dont know the tension, the penis looks as if it stretches shorter but feels as if the stretch is stronger especially when sitting.

Are there any tricks/tips on using the belt and gauging the tension?

 The tension with a PMP is less and then sometimes very strong depending on standing, sitting, walking
etc... So there really isn't any clear way to gauge what tension you are using. Nonetheless though it is tension. Your antibiotic you are using should work - just keep applying it regularly after showering and washing until the irritation/infection is gone.

i only use the rod system and find its tension stronger when sitting (when i mostly use it) than standing.

regarding crotch, i suggest applying some castor oil after sessions (when you feel any discomfort). sometimes i place a gauze in-between my skin and PMP's base.

Hi

am having a similar issue + redness all on my crotch and balls. am hoping its not a fungal infection and just due to the friction of the PMP base and skin. how did you guys promote healing? considering using the belt for a bit!

I used the belt and antibiotic ointment and it was mostly healed in 2 days
