I have been hit in a certain area of my body as a child by my parents - many times that area had blood seeping through the pores of the skin when my punishment was done. That area was hit with a stick or fishing pole with about 100 or so swats on a nearly daily basis since I was 3. It was excruciatingly painful when I was little, and when I was about 10, I experienced the same damage, but very little or no pain or a numb feeling. That area to this day has no pain sensitivity and it is pinkish red and the mark would be very noticeable even from a distance, It is very sensitive to cold, but feels no heat. I have not been hit in that area since I was 18. Will that area always be pinkish red and not sensitive? Could there be nerve damage?

I have had the same problem as a child, and I have a deep red mark that covers the bottom 2/3 of my bottom and it will not go away, and my pain sensitivity there is zero, and it is very sensitive to cold and feels like frost bite when slightly cold, and no heat sensitivity there. It hasn't gone away for 20 years, and probably never will.

you have permanent nerve damage. But I'm more concerned how you are dealing with that abuse now you are an adult. Sorry man .No kid deserves what you went through.

I am sorry for you that sounds rough. Hope you get some help for your psychological effects and good luck with the physical effects.
