Brief Answer:
Red marks due to friction during masturbation...

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,

I have gone through the photo you sent in, and noted the red stretch marks on your penis. As you have a recent history of masturbating with a condom twice daily, the red marks might be related to friction during masturbation.

I advise to:
- avoid sexual intercourse or masturbation until everything will clear up
- apply cold compresses locally
- zinc oxide cream can also help

Hope it was of help!
