masturbation does not cause any of the things you mention. Veins do not pulsate arteries do. You are worried and trying self diagnosis which is wrong. See a Urologist to alleviate any concerns. Keep busy by doing social service, a hobby or any other such work I think when you worry less you will feel better

Possible mole: or other skin issue needs to be examined by your doctor. It is not from masturbation but you do need to find out what it is. Peace and good health.
