i am 28 years old, white male. i am sexually active with one female. i have a decent amount of confidence she is faithful as well. last night in the shower i noticed a zit type thing on the meatus of my penis. no pain or urinary burning. i have been masturbating 3-4 times a day (covid lockdown) because we havent been sexually active for a couple weeks. i have no idea what this could be from and i hope it isnt any type of std because obviously she wouldnt have been as faithful as me.
This is most likely not linked in any way to your sexual partner. What you are going to need to do is give your penis a complete rest and let the damage to the area heal naturally - this could take anywhere between 8 to 12 days to 3 to 4 months so that the necessary healing is complete.
So, no masturbation as what this may have started as is a slight bit of damage to the skin in the area and with the friction and pressure due to the penis being erect on a regular basis, the skin has simply broken-down even further.
That is, with the frequency of masturbation you are not enabling the natural healing process to begin and proceed to a normal conclusion.
Depending on the level of damage it is possible you may need to get something like a steroid ointment to help this to heal - but best let it heal naturally - if you give it a complete sex and masturbation rest you should know whether this is going to heal itself within 12 weeks. For most cases, 3 to 4 weeks rest should be sufficient …
