Hi guys,

So I have been happily using my SOMA Correct II device for several months. Can't say I have seen any improvement but I stuck with it seeing it as a self-care.

Before I start...I've been careful not to overpump....

So....I got this red mark a few months ago...so have have held off doing any pumping at all for 10 weeks... it had all but gone just what looked like a very light scar and skin coloured.

So today I thought I would give it a go.

I started nice n slow...5 pumps...hold 10s release.

I worked up to 10 pumps on the 10th time.....still not hard...took off the device and it's re-appeared.

There's no bleeding or pain or sensitivity. It will probably go down after a few days...but not a good look on the chance I might have sex.

Any suggestions?

Hi Mcrmale,

I have no experience with this device but looking at your photo it seems clear that you are bursting capillaries in the skin of the member.  You held off for ten weeks and the burst blood vessels hardened into scar tissue.  It sounds like the damaged area was small, so the scar is also small and may fade away over time with your basic metabolism.

However, after pumping again, the same thing has happened.  One question:  is it the same phenomenon but in a different spot?  Or is the same spot going red again?  

My first suggestion, while I'm not a specialist with this device, is that if you're producing so much suction that you're bursting your own blood vessels, then you must be pumping the thing too hard.  You say you have been careful not to overpump, but the suction is clearly causing problems.  

If as you say you did not see any improvement after several months, then it may be time to abandon the device.  If you want to stick with it, however, maybe the best approach is to pump less, applying less suction.  The device may work fine with less suction -- assuming it will work at all.  But if it continues to burst blood vessels even at lower pressure, you may have to give up on it.

One other idea:  if it's the exact same spot that hemorrhages, maybe you could reinforce the skin a little with a piece of Micropore tape before applying suction.  If the hemorrhaging continues even with a piece of tape over the spot - or if you get similar hemorrhages in other spots - then the only two possiblities I can think of logically are that (1) you're using too much suction or (2) this device simply isn't going to work for you.  

I note that you already suspect it's not actually working.  Have you asked the doctor who prescribed it how to know when it's time to throw in the towel on this particular device?

Good luck,
PK
