have you been masturbating more than normal?

nh_user_699256 · August 23, 2021, 4:03am

Yes that is what it looks like. If you have sex or masturbate you will irritate the head.

Get a jock itch cream. It will help,Ken

Also looks like irritation from masturbation near the urethra.

Make sure you are using lubrication when entertaining

when you say that i assume you mean lube as just started to look into using lube while masterbating

Yes, you will want to apply a fair amount to the entire penis to help avoid friction and additional skin irritations. Just be sure to clean up your ejaculate and lube well after you are done, as the moisture in your underwear will cause more irritation.
