A member asked:
This is an awkward question but can masterbating give you any skin infections on the finger?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, but secondary: Masturbating will not cause a skin infection, but if you have an open sore on your finger, it may be susceptible to acquiring an infection through bacteria in your vagina.

Yes, but: unlikely on your finger. One of the common side effects of the masturbation is skin irritation, and in some instances the bad hygiene, residual body juices can cause fungal infection.
