What Causes Scab Like Skin On Penis Head After Masturbation?

This is a very strange question, but I just went to the bathroom and noticed just the tip had a bit crusted over. Maybe a possible scab like? Nothing is burning or itching or looks inflamed or even irritated. I also did masturbate right before I got out of the shower, could a bit of sperm have dried up and caused a crustiness over the pee hole tip? Sorry for all the information just wanted to let you know where I am coming from

Hi,

Crusting of semen is a normal phenomenon. Semen coagulates. So, some of the liquid components evaporate. Others remain, forming a crusty residue.Semen can also stain and crust clothes. Hence do not worry.

Lather the soap in your hand and then gently wash your penis and scrotum. That skin is sensitive so don't scrub as this can irritate your genitals. Also, if the soap is too irritating try a milder soap or only use warm water. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
