Hello,
It looks like trauma to the penis causing a nerve compression and hence such symptoms. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful.If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a urologist.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.

thank you ,the bruising has got a lott less ,it was very black ,I cycled 40 miles and it hurt after the first few miles where my saddle and base of my penis met ,but I just tried to adjust my shorts and hope it was just saddle soreness and it would get less ,on reaching home and seeing myself in the shower and of course the tingling numb sensation which got worse I realised I had done some damage to my penis ,the feeling is returning and although I can not get properly erect it is returning, but I have very little feeling or sensation on the end but it looks healthy , I was so scared I had done some permanent damage I have been just watching and the bruisings a lot better,thanks again .
