TOPIC: Any Given Sunday

I have to guess it is the piercing that caused bacteria to go in that area. I would remove it and go on antibiotics quickly to stop any further infection.

Not removing the peircing. That goes against all advice given on piercings.

There is zero indication that bacteria has gotten inside my penis, at least where the PMMA is located.

This peircing goes through the glands and out the frenum, last I checked no one was getting PMMA in their frenum area and bacteria certainly wouldn't migrate up and around my shaft to only one area.

I'm certain my body has noticed the biggest accumulation of PMMA due to all the activity involving the peircing. And now is trying to form a hard layer around it.

The area is very close to the ridge I had on my circ scar, which was from before.

I have started antibiotics today.

Also, I have ordered DSMO and will apply it to the area 3x a day once it arrives.

Talked to my wife and she says she can't tell a difference and that I am overreacting lol. Perhaps, but I will keep a close eye. Something is slightly off...

Good you started antibiotics. Good healing man.

It does appear to have a slight bit of swelling. We'll see how this pans out, last resort is to abandon the piercing.
It's not noticeable from midshaft measurements because it's slightly above midshaft.

The pain I went through for this piercing is not something I taken lightly lol.

Update: there's definitely something going on. My midshaft Girth is 7" now. I'm on antibiotics and ibuprofen. Also, I started DMSO today.

We'll see if we can't get this figured out.

Pic 2 was last night.

Obviously there's some swelling, but why?

That's crazy man. I hope that settles down for you. I'm curious to know what's causing it.

It has to be infection related to the piercing. But it's crazy that it's only one target area? There's no signs of infection from the fistula (peircing hole)
So I am confused on the whole deal.

Gonna do 4 or 5x a day dsmo, this stuff apparently is great for swelling. Also gonna give the antibiotics time to work.

I wonder if there would be any drainage from hitting it with a good size needle.

Is it warm to the touch? It's not red or sore? I got to echo Brice- crazy, and heal quick bro. keep us posted.

I think you're right, but I would probably skip the needle and let the antibiotics do their thing.

It's no warmer to the touch then the rest of my Cock.

Have you changed out your piercing with something different? Quality of jewelry could cause this reaction too. Have to use good quality jewelry for those piercings.

Actually yes, went from titanium to surgical steel. ?

August 21st.

There you go. I have my PA and frenum done and learned early on about quality jewelry.
