Question 2

after i had sex, during which i used a penis ring, my penis became swollen and discolored plus i can see broken blood vessels what do i do?

See answer: If having no significant pain, likely just a rupture of a superficial blood vessel(s) and local ice pack, avoiding erections/intercourse, and observation may be all that you need.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Is he circumcised?: If so this is like residual from this circumcision.

Question 10

what do i do to get rid of dark ring around penis?

Accepted Answer

Use a looser grip: When you are enjoying your body by yourself, use a looser grip and more lube. The ring is made of hemosiderin (iron pigment from red blood cells) and results from breaking of the little capillaries just beyond your hand where the delicate skin takes the most physical stress. This physical sign's ubiquitous among teenaged males & i'm assuming your case is the same. Good luck..
