Default Re: avoiding stretch marks?

marks still haven't faded......how much longer do you think? I might wait 2 more months at the most before it becomes too ridiculous to wait any longer. If i start tugging again, but with less tension than i used before, is there any risk of the tear getting larger/wider? That's what im most afraid of.

[quote=greg_b;85961]When I use infaltion, I do 15-20 minutes a day, twice a day, 5 days a week. With inflation, I seem to be making even better progress. With far less time, mind you. this may simply be because the balloon stretchs the whole skin enough to apply suffiicnet tension to more cells than the tape method does. [quote]

When you use inflation, do you use inflation exclusively? Or do you inflate in addition to other techniques?

I would start tugging again if it were me. Could it be that the red marks were there before you started and you simply started noticing them because with tugging you started really paying attention to your penis?

Either way, if they have not gone away, and are not painful or itchy (which suggests some other condition or infection) and the red parts behave like the rest of your skin, then it sounds like something you will need to live with, but that is not a problem, other than aesthetically. And some cuts can take a long time to fade after healing. I had surgery in the spring, those incisions were still raised and red looking until this past month.

Best

Yes, when using inflation, I am just using inflation. I did that for the past two months and consistently got faster growth than with my go to method of t-tape strips and an insert. I was pretty impressed, actually.

The only downside I see is that I cannot precisely apply tension to the spot I want. So I am thinking that I will alternate between inflation and t-tape strips. Maybe alternate each week. Though I must say that the convenience and growth rate makes inflation very seductive....

Regards

You're probably right about them being there before. Only thing is they are all around the circumcision scar, right in the area where the tape was placed. And at the top part (where I think I had more tension), not the bottom part. I might just only give it one more month.

Only thing im worried about is if tugging would make those marks worse by stretching them out more. Any danger in that? I don't care that much about the aesthetics that much but don't want it to look any worse than it does now.

I do not know. I would think it is probably not a problem, other than aesthetics. But you may want to do some other research. Or talk to a dermotologist.
