skin tearing?

[youssefb]

Hello everyone.
I'm a new tugger, been at it for over a month. I find that I've already made gains and can visibly see a difference in stretching of the skin and some coverage (fortunately, I think I'm a CL-2 or 3 starting out).
I'm not going to lie. The tugger was difficult to use at first. Now, however, I think I have it down without issue and don't have much problem keeping the skin in the retaining cone.
However, I found that one side hurt and tore a bit when stretching on a couple of occasions. It's taken about a week to heal. Has anyone had this happen? If so, what do you recommend for something to help with the pain and/or healing process?

Hello, I have had something similar to me. I manual stretch and have been stretching for about three months now, and have gone from a CI-1 to a 2-2.5. I have torn my skin twice and here is the best thing to do. Stop. If you keep going it will only get worse, you need to allow it to heal and then once it has continue on but with less stress on it. Remember it should never cause pain or injury to your foreskin. I still have a scar from one of mine, but it is fading now. Anyways, happy day. - Pablo

Oh yeah. I have had this happen too, twice. It's real easy to overdo it with tension, particularly on the inner skin with a bi-directional device. Just let it heal until it's no longer visible. You may try some aloe vera gel and some arnica salve while healing. This will make it heal faster. You do t need any more than a pound to grow skin, usually much less. I'm down to 10 oz. and it's working great.

Yes it is a common problem due mostly to over doing it.

If it's happening to you too often, you need to scale back the amount of tugging you do -- in terms of tension and or duration. Just a matter of trial and error to determine how much tension/duration is best for you. Good luck!

When this heals just be gentle. My family doctor knows I regrew my foreskin. At one point I was overzealous and completely reopened my circumcision incision scar tissue. He told me to apply Vaseline so it heals from the inside out and the scar tissue won't re-form. It has worked. My penis looks much better now.
