I have an issue that I've been dealing with recently where I have these very small open scratches on the foreskin of my penis. A few them were actually pretty large and luckily are healing because now they have scabs and seem to be closing up.
I tried to post a picture showing what I have where the black spots farther away from the penis head are those black dots where the big scratches were. Meanwhile the scratches that aren't healed are these tiny vertical red jagged lines closer to the head along the foreskin. What I'll notice to is that my foreskin will be dry and flaky.
The picture I took was of me being recently showered, which I guess removed the dryness. And shortly after showering I actually applied peroxide and this antibiotic ointment to "clean the scratches". Yes the peroxide stung REALLY BAD.
I don't know how much context this would add toward giving me an answer on how to resolve this. But number one I admit I do masturbate alot, sometimes 4 times a day. Recently because of this I have been slowing down significantly and have cut it down to maybe twice a day. And after this post I'm just going to cut it off completely. To clean myself after masturbating, I would actually use the a towel or cloth and use it over and over again without washing it. Obviously thats going to stop as well from now on for me.
I haven't been sexually active for months. I was recently hospitalized for diverticulitis(a week and a half ago) and in dealing with that illness for those several months of lack of sexual activity, it was hard to be in any kind of relationship or really do anything. And yes I did masturbate at the hospital.
So can anyone tell me what this condition is? What are the solutions to me resolving it? Will any of what I've done so far help me in getting rid of this?
