Thanks for your reply. The foreskin is retractable in fully erect state without pain and without tightness up to neck of the glans and after that i feel tightness in the foreskin. The damage of the foreskin is happening exactly between the joints of pubic hair and the shaft.

Brief Answer:
Trauma could be a factor

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Most likely it is due to the trauma sustained during the repeated act of masturbation. I would suggest that you use a topical antibiotic e.g 2% mupirocin cream (T-Bact cream) over the affected area, twice daily. Abstain from masturbation for a week and let it heal completely

You can upload me a picture of the area, in case you presently have it over there.

Brief Answer:
Dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks. The picture really helps.

It is actually looking like a dermatitis/Eczema. I would suggest that you use a mid-potent topical steroid cream e.g Mometasone furoate cream (elocon ceam), twice daily for a few days.

An OTC antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg once daily, would help you symptomatically with the itching, if any

That should make it fine.
