Abrasion on head of penis, scrotum itch

Every so often, usually after sex and sometimes after a lot of masturbating, I get an abrasion on the same spot on the head of my penis.  The spot gets bruised and sore.  The spot gets red and sometimes expands for 5-7 days and heals if I don't masturbate or have sex in the meantime.  It looks like a rug burn and I usually shrug it off because I had been having sex or masturbating a lot.

This time, the skin under my scrotum itches like crazy.  Am I paranoid or is this something to worry about?  Last time I was tested, I was negative for STIs.

and you've had these symptoms since before you've been tested too?

do you use a good sex lube for sex and masturbation?

have you ever been tested for herpes to know your status?  you and a partner can't make educated decisions about what precautions to take until you know who has what.

have you had the itchy spot looked at? I know it's hard to see there yourself.  often times it's just irritation or jock itch causing an itch in that area.
