A member asked:
I masturbate daily, i have found a red area on my penis under the shaft, it looks like friction burn (slightly raised, 1 centimeters diameter), this has been for the past month. should i be worried? no rash no pain?

It could be skin irritation from the way you masturbate. Give it a little rest and apply Cortisone oe hydrocortisone (OTC) cream till it heals. Avoid that area and use plenty of neutral lubricant, like KY jelly, when you resume
