Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concern and would not attribute the itchy bump to masturbation. The urge to masturbate is normal and I do believe that you have folliculitis. It is an easily treatable condition and I am glad to know that you are getting medical attention for the same. I hope you also consult with a psychiatrist to get any lingering questions answered. I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
