Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a penile eczema. I suggest using a steroid cream such as Hydrocortisone cream for local application. I also suggest to avoid factors that can trigger the symptoms such as masturbation and maintain a good hygiene.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
