What Causes Dryness And Redness In Testicles After Masturbating?

I was masturbating about 2 days ago with shampoo in the shower. It was all fine but now yesterday and today my testicals are dry, red, and very wrinkly (they also have a strange odor). I wonder If it was some of the shampoo that didn tt get washed off or what. I know it is not an std because I m a virgin.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: Scrotal skin is very delicate, your shampoo might have caused allergy.

Explanation: Usually scrotal skin has abundant sebaceous glands which secrete sebum and keeps skin moist and in a good condition. So, if you use soap/shampoo excessively it may wash all the sebum and cause dryness. So, for now you can apply coconut/Vaseline locally to keep it moist and by time it will be ok.
If not subsided after 2 days visit a doctor.
