abrasion on penis

i recently noticed a brown like splinter like scab on the underside of my penis...i didnt not notice any raised bumps, or pimple like growths before this at first i could not tell if they were freckles or not i got tweezers and got the tiny scabs out now there is a pinkish area on my penis where the splinter like scabs were... i did masturbate alot the days before could this be a cause of friction?

i don't think so. you can always go have a blood test done to see if it is hsv.

it sounds like you may have made a raw spot from agressive masturbation. that would have caused a scab.

it is possible. the skin beneath is pinkish because you just picked a scab off, just like it would be on any other part of your body. in the future use more adequate lubrication during masturbation. :)
