I feel like I'm Woodey Allen (no pun intended about his name being Woodey)Anyway, 2 questions. First, a month or two ago I was watching TV and scratching my groinal area as usual and noticed how bloody itchy it was, and when I looked to my horror there were about 5 to 10 little red dots around the area where the hair stops and my leg starts. Eventually they kinda grew into each other and a large redish area/rash, and now is gray and still there. Apart from the day I first saw them they haven't been itchy again, and never hurt, I was just wondering what this is... Ants? lolThe second one is the more serious problem methinks. A few weeks ago I was masturbating and I looked down and to my horror/disgust etc there was 2 little areas (no more than 1/2 a cm) of skin missing so to speak just below the head. And on the left side of my penis, again just below the head there was a longer one, going from the side to around the back of just below the head. It's hard to explain, it's like the amount of skin for my penis is too small, and that makes the skin 'tear' at the top of my penis. It's wierd. I didn't masturbate again for a week and a bit, and when I did I did it in the shower and it seemed okay again. But then after that the red things have had, like, hardish sorta skin grow over it. Kinda like the stuff that you get when you get badly sunburnt. Anyway I tried to masturbate again and it 'tore' and they're red again. What's the deal with that?Any help would be appreciated.

2 questions (a rash and a tear)

It's hard to be sure on just a description, but I'll have a go.I wonder if the first was indeed some sort of insect bite. Perhaps even pubic lice or scabies, though they usually itch a lot.It's not uncommon to rub your penis skin raw in the heat of the moment, and when it heals for a while it is rougher skin than usual, and more delicate than usual. You probably should have given it longer before you went at it again. It does sounds like your masturbating technique is a bit rough. Do you use lubrication?
-
Well, at the time it didn't seem 'rough', but in retrospect I guess I could've slowed down a bit, so to speak heheh.So leave it go a few weeks/month and it should be normal again?
-
If you can. Two weeks, at least. Then be gentle and use lube.Your healing rate seems a little slow. I hope you're eating healthily? There are some ointments that do help healing - I don't know what's available where you are, though.

Perhaps what you have is "jock itch", a fungal infection. I have a problem with this from time to time along side my scrotum in the joint with my leg. It can get very red, itchy and raw. The best thing to do is use an anti-fungal spray or cream like you would use for athelete's foot. Keep the area clean and dry and it will heal quickly.

I have rubbed myself raw tuns of times, and it healed within a week or two. So don't worry and do what Ineligible says. I almost always listen to him :laughing:.
