      It doesn't look like anything sinister and you haven't said that it is painful.

      This is possibly posthitis, aggravated by the masturbation. You have a fair bit of skin there and could also just be dryness Don't aggravate with soap and speak to the Dr to see if they prescribe topical medication for it.

      Thanks for the reply!

      The irritation is highlighted in red. (see attached).

      Would you still have the same verdict? no pain, not itchy.

      Hi Daniel

      Well I'm not a qualified Dr, but again doesn't look like anything bad. Very slight redness to glans. Possible balanitis. Maybe try lubrication when you masturbate and sex and see if that helps. Wash with water or emollient and see how that works.

      If it doesn't clear, see Dr.
