Allergic To Not Being Inside A Device?

Last night marked two weeks of continuous wear in my steelheart device. I requested a release to get cleaned, shaved, and inspected properly. Everything looked good and felt fine. One of the first things I did while showering was stimulating myself enough to achieve a solid erection. No issues there; everything seemed okay. Later on, before stepping out of the shower (which had been quite long), I decided to stimulate again to get hard once more. This time it really stung, almost like a chemical burn similar to what happens with an open cut. I assumed it was due to the soap I was using, recalling a similar sensation years ago when I used to masturbate in the shower occasionally. The strange part is that the feeling didn’t completely disappear. We did spend some time together but nothing too intense. I remained unlocked for the entire night and all day today. The sensation remains largely unchanged now, mostly noticeable only when aroused. Visually, there are no signs of irritation or soreness.

I am a bit hesitant to return to my steelheart until this goes away, primarily because I won’t be able to see what’s happening inside the device. Any thoughts on what might be going wrong? Could my poor little penis really be allergic to freedom? Suggestions are welcome. -A
