CaveDave - I have what sounds like the exact same thing as you. A group of small spots on the side of my shaft that seem to be permanent. It started when I was unable to do Penis Enlargement for a couple weeks. When I started again with my
Bathmate, I had a good pump and it seems my penis had lost it's conditioning to handle it. I ended up with a lot of red spots, mostly on the left side of my shaft. They faded after a couple days, but they have not fully gone away over the last 6 weeks. I stopped all girth work for another 2 weeks and they remain slightly discoloured from the rest of my penis. And now if I have an intense girth session I notice that these spots turn reddish. It seems this area has become more susceptible to it, and can't handle as much expansion. I'm slowly stepping up the intensity each workout now to help this and minimize any permanent marking. Sometimes when I have sex for a long time, I notice that these spots even become a little red. My girl hasn't noticed them yet, but she wouldn't be thrilled about it. Probably be scared that I'm "damaging" her toy.
