Hey, I am an 18 year old male and I have a question that I would like to ask on here . I have developed a red area on my penis from masturbation. It first appeared a month ago, but I ignored it and kept masturbating nightly. About a week ago and a half ago, I decided to stop all together and attempt to let it heal. I have tried neosporin, vaseline, and a moistureizer with no luck. The red area does not hurt and is not that big, but in the morning it sometimes seems dry and it just will not heal. Any ideas? Should I be using an antibiotic or moisturizer? I'd like to give my best effort to solve this without visiting a doctor.

Redness from masturbation

Do you think that I should continue to not masturbate until it heals? Also, do you think there is any chance that this can be permanent? I'm gonna try doing what you said. Thanks

I doubt that masturbation has anything to do with it. I would suggest that you work around the spot when you masturbate and ask your doctor about it. If it's not sore I doubt that masturbation had anything to do with it.

If it weren't dry, I'd guess that it could possibly be a yeast infection. It sounds like a long shot, but you can get an antifungal creme or ointment over the counter at the pharmacy and give it a try. If that doesn't help in some reasonably short period of time, I'd take it to the doctor.

Well I forgot to mention that when the redness appeared, it was directly after a rough session of masturbating. And when I masturbated a few times after I got it, it hurt when I did it..

it could be that you are squeezing a little to hard i would just keep puting the stuff on and layback on masterbating for a while if it doesnt go away go to a doctor. i may be completly wrong though so
