BigAL regarding discoloration

[Cman420]

Hey BIgAL,

So i have read the forums regarding discoloration and i've seen pics on other forums and such. You say it could be "hemosiderin stains?" and that a topical ointment with
B-5 and warm wraps can help remove them.

I went to a store with a pharmacy in it and the guy said that there wouldn't be a topical cream with B-5 in it? Do you mean Vitamin B-5? im not sure, Do you know any particular brands or examples?

Also, On one forum i read the squeezes such as the horse squeeze. cause the discoloration and i have read that you recommend squeezes instead of Uli's and Jelqs which may increase the discoloration. What are your thoughts on exercises to not increase the discoloration? Since i beleive it was Uli's and Jelqs that caused it?

thanks

Yes, that's Vitamin B-5, aka "Pantothenic Acid". Some cocoa butter creams come infused with B-5 (like Palmer's), and I wouldn't recommend anything too potent.

Any intensely performed girth movement can cause discoloration, but the culprits are usually clamping or any movement that uses a device or restricts circulation for an extended period of time. Doing stamina work (to promote blood flow) and a thorough warm down will help alleviate the possibility of discoloration (somewhat).

Thank you for your response.

Thanks, i googled vitamin b-5 right after i posted. good ol' google

Ya i've been warm wrapping on days off for like 20 min, the discolouration is fading slightly , but its the underside thats darker, so it's improving, a little. Its almost like spider veins or something, very weird.

Is a Uli considered a clamp?

Thanks again for responding and the insight.

The ULI is a manual exercise and modern day "clamping" is a device-using variant of this.
