Ok woke up to have a look and the ring is now very swollen.
I am at 3.5 days.
I had this when I got fft and whenever I did a top up we would put some surgical tape around the ring and I would keep it there to make sure it didn't swell up.
Its best to prevent it than to try and cure it.
However the rest of the penis is now less swollen and the bruising is improving day by day.
I have taped the ring not too tight but just to collect the loose puffy skin. I don't think it is pmma but just fluid and swelling from light inflammation (again had that with fft)
I will keep doing this until day six and review.
The reason I believe this happens is that on the circ scar we all have a little bit of extra skin and combined with gravity it is the obvious place for fluid to gather and the loose skin allows it to get all puffy.
I also have turkey neck which I had before after fft. What happens is my scrotal sack expands and swells up as you know the scrotal skin is very expandable. At the same time the penis needs more skin to cope with the extra size so the path of least resistance is that some of the skin is pulled down.
After I recovered from fft I found that both issues ring a turkey neck reduced to enough that I didn't think about it. Had I not had that experience I would worry a little now.
I will measure again at the 6-8 day point but m feeling is that I have dropped a lot of size at the base and a little everywhere else.
I think the base is what swells up the most as that's where all my entry points were and all the local anesthetic injections took place. It was 6.25 before and went up to 7.25. I think it will go down to 6.5-6.75 which would be my ideal base.
