Skin discomfort after implant

[Bionic2022]

Hello fellow bionic friends. I had my implant put in March 11th 2022, and everything has been going well. Saw my doctor and gave me the go ahead to start pumping. What I have noticed, as they days go by and I am able to pump more each day, I am noticing that the skin on my shaft is sore from stretching and engorging. I even see a slight irritation on the top shaft when I pump to the max. Is this normal? I am using cortisone cream and that has alleviated the discomfort. Just wanted to know if this is normal. By the way, it is not a skin breakout or rash of any sort, just discomfort.
Thank you for any input

Your penis has gone through some serious trauma inside (inserting an implant) and on the outside. Think about it, your skin has not stretched in a long time due to ED, and all of a sudden you bring into the picture an implant that not only gives you a solid erection, it is stretching that skin as well. I am pretty sure that this is kinda normal for some guys. I would use the Cortizone for only few days and then let Mother Nature take over. Once you start fucking and or masturbating, you'll end up moisturizing that skin naturally and/or with a lubricant. I wouldn't be alarmed, just keep an eye on it. Also, I really don't think you have to stretch your penis till the max while cycling. Take it easy and let your body (scrotum, penis, abdomen and skin) get used to your new you. It's not a sprint to a finish line, but a long marathon to a new sex life with everything to gain. Congrats on the new you and enjoy.

Welcome to the site. Yes I had this. Try some massage while inflating. Heat helps relax tissue also. Heating pad worked for me. If your incision is fully healed and your are released for baths that is another option.
