Masturbation and Skin Condition on the Penis Posted: 01-19-06 13:58pm
Basically, I masterbate once, maybe twice
a day. Recently, I have noticed what
looks like swelling or inflamation on the
left side of my penis, under the skin,
where the shaft meets the head. It is not
a blister by means of exterior skin
abrasions, it looks like it is happening
under the skin. Is this caused by
excessive masterbation, rubbing to hard or
the wrong way? It seems that if I stop
for a couple days the swelling goes down,
but the next time I do it, it swells up
again. Should I just lay low on the
masterbation for a while and let it heal
or is there a serious problem.

It is hard for me to say what is going on
limited only to your description. Skin or
mucosa changes have to be seen to be
diagnosed. Very rough masturbation can
cause skin/mucosa trauma. Masturbation
can’t cause infection but can make
healing an infectio difficult. You can
proceed to a urologist for an exam, or see
your general practitioner for more help in
identifying and treating this skin
irritation.
