Stop self-injuring !: Tooth paste wasn't designed for use on the penis. Scrubbing vigorously can cause damage. At this point, I can only encourage you to stop the self-injury. Depending on severity, you may wish to see an urologist.

Toothpaste: T'paste is formulated for use inside the mouth, not on. skin. You may have created permanent scarring. Please see a Urologist or a Dermatologist immediately. Perhaps they will have a solution for you.
