Bruise on head of the penis

I'm awfully worried. I have a dark spot on the head of my penis and its been there for a while now. I am thinking its a bruise from masturbating too hard but my research has told me that usually goes away in 3 weeks. Its been about 6 months now. I've been regularly masturbating though so maybe it hasn't been going away because I've continued to affect it? I need help please, what should I do? I have not had sex, i'm only 16, will this heal???

You could stop masturbating (or use a less vigorous technique) for at least 3 weeks and see if it goes away. Or you'll just have to see a doctor or clinic.

How should I deal with it then, without going to a doctor?

And of course you can't have any STD without having sex with another person.

No STD looks like a bruise and that's probably all it is.  But 6 months is too long to be worried.  See a doctor for reassurance.
