Question : Hi, I'm 21 years old and I have a scab on my foreskin. It has happened a couple time before and scabs up usually after masturbation and always on the foreskin. What could this be?
Brief Answer:
Provided additional information, use lotion while masturbation, as it may be due to irritation
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
It is difficult to say what it is without examination, kindly upload picture for better assessment. Is there a history of injury, does it occurs every time after masturbation.
Rubbing too hard while masturbating, or using other objects that could be causing your penis to become irritated. The skin covering the penis is sensitive and can be easily torn or scrapped by repeated rubbing so you may want to use lotion before you masturbate in order to prevent dryness and also ease the irritation.
Take care.
