Suggest Treatment For A Large Blister On The Penis Shaft

Posted on Mon, 16 Jan 2017

Question: Hello, I was recently using a penis hydro pump in the shower with warm water. After using it for over 10 minutes I released the pressure and then massaged my penis with mineral oil in continuous warm water then noticed a large blister on the shaft of my penis close to the head. What can I do to treat it?

Brief Answer:
More precautions than treatment really

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Blisters and bruises are common side effects of using a penis pump and in such a scenario the treatment includes more of precautions than anything else:

+Avoid friction completely
+Wear loose clothes, and may be even avoid inner wear for a while
+Do not masturbate or indulge in sexual intercourse until the blister/swelling resolves itself
+Do not pop the blister
+Avoid the pump for a while

All you need to do is to be patient, and try to avoid friction over the region until the swelling/blister resolves itself.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
