It sounds like you abraded your skin with the washcloth, and then the soap probably had some strong perfumes and whatnot in it, and those irritated the damaged skin. Just be gentle with yourself from here on out; and masturbating with soap is fine s long as you don't also use an abrasive object like a washcloth! It might not seem abrasive at the time, but it can damage delicate skin. You penis should heal up in about a week, but it may be tender for a while. Wash with a soap that is fragrance free, and labled "hypoalergenic", and that should ease up on the pain during a shower.

Soap can be a great lubricant during masturbation and sex! Water can make body parts "stick", but soap lets everything slide nicely. Plus, you clean inside at the same time ;) just make sure that if you are sensitive or allergic to some things to use safe soaps to avoid irritation.

what? Have sex using soap as a lubricant? That's a dreadful, dreadful idea, and don't ever do it. Washing, yes. But you are not ever supposed to wash *inside* a vagina.

Hasn't hurt me yet... And we don't use a lot.

Sounds to me you just irritated the epidermus, the skin here is after all very sensitive. No worries. Avoid perfumed soaps, including detergents. You may even have developed a slight allergy to a variant in the soap or cloth. It will go away just fine. If burning or irritation pursists for over 14 days see a doctor.
