Vitamin E is always going to make skin look nicer. It shouldn't have any effect on the inflammation though.View Thread

If there is bruising, there's something else going on and it needs urgent attention. A regular physician knows about as much about your penis as a dentist knows about foot fungus.
Change your appointment to be next week. This is becoming urgent.View Thread


Any surface veins or lymph channels are going to protrude more when the spongy body of your penis is turgid/erect, from simple pressure.
It's as likely that this occurred spontaneously without any attributable reason, as it is that it was from rough handling. Don't feel badly about it. This is one of those weird but unpleasant things that can just happen. I'm glad to hear it sounds like there has been some improvement.View Thread


I don't know if you tried any of the cream recommended in one of the resource links, but it does help break up congestion in soft tissue and reduce inflammation and can facilitate a faster resolution to any kind of tissue congestion or inflammatory condition, such as what you're describing.
The appearance of the veins may be just a symptom of the inflamed lymph channels which tend to run very close to one another, and the pressure of one is physically pushing the other to more prominence.
You can certainly see a urologist about your situation if you want, but you may save $200 if you know he will only be able to recommend what has been related above.View Thread

You do not likely need to see the doctor. They will not provide you with any different advice than what you have read above. And yes, only a urologist would have a useful opinion, not a general practitioner, so save yourself $200 for the time being.
It will likely take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months to go away on its own.View Thread

Erections have no effect on your situation in and of themselves, but you should not be having intercourse or masturbating. That would involve friction that would irritate the situation.View Thread

There is a product suggested in first of the Tips section of this forum which you can try and has helped speed the process for some, but even so it's something that works for some people and not for others. Your body's individual situation is going to be different than another body. There is no guaranteed accelerator, which is just something that points to being gentle with your body in the first place, and especially after the injury. It is possible that it could appear spontaneously even if you hadn't injured it from vigorous masturbation. It's just one of those things.
If you irritate the area before it's fully healed (no evidence of inflammation for at least a week), it will likely make the situation worse for longer. Your regular lymph channels rely on muscle movement to clear them, and there are no muscles in your penis. At the point they've become inflamed, you can't massage them without increasing the problem, so it's pretty much a wait-and-see kind of healing process. It can resolve as quickly as 2-3 weeks or as long as 2-3 months.View Thread

The blue are actual veins, and their appearance or texture is not something you can affect by any means. What happens though is that there are lymph channels that follow mostly the same path as your blood vessels. These have no pump, and when they get irritated, they swell. This can give the appearance of bulging veins, but it's really inflamed lymph channels that are pushing the vein at the skin surface.
You don't need to go to the doctor most likely, unless you want them to prescribe a high-dose anti-inflammatory. There are many posts on this subject you can find by searching for the term "sclerosing lymphangitis" in this forum.
The best thing to do is leave it alone, which you're already doing. You can also find a quick reference in the TIPS section of this forum http://forums.webmd.com/3/urology/tip/1View Thread
