Are you thinking this could be related to an STD / STI - it is most likely either damaged skin or has been irritated by something it has been in contact with.
Can be very dependant on the amount and type of masturbation, whether you apply anything to masturbate and the length of time you are erect and the mount of force or pressure you use. If you use penis development of any kind can be purely related to that.
It may be what you are seeing is not showing in the photo, so there could be something else going on, such as the initial development of a skin issue.
Certainly monitor it closely every 4 or 5 weeks or so - a strong natural daylight is the best to judge these things in to see if it worsens. Seek medical advice if it seems to be escalating .....

If you haven't had unsafe for four years i'm sure it won't be an STD. Looks like you're uncircumcised like me, your glans looks like a normal healthy colour to me. Most of us uncut guys will have a darker colour to the head of the penis, and over time you can have darker patches appear, this is usually nothing to worry about at all.

Yeah I thought it was herpes at first but herpes usually goes away within a week. It doesn't cause any pain anymore but i will be seeing a dermatologist soon

Keep me posted on what they say. Ive had about 3 doctors take a look at mine and pretty much said it was nothing to worry about or they didnt know. Also i seen you were curious on if it could be herpes. Mine is very similar and I had a HSV swab test on it which came back negative.

Did the doctor possibly say what it could be? Ive had mine for 3-4 months, no pain to the tough or anything. Doesnt seem to be raised. Yours is similar correct?

hello, It was pretty much nothing. some damaged skin. I still have the spot but it's almost unnoticable and it doesn't cause any pain any more.

Small circle ? I am trying to find information online since years and still no hint.
Doctors also do not know.
Maybe an alien mark...

Ive had the same i had to switch from using tight boxers and ib profines relax the f**k out of it , topical cremes also do too
dont masturbate man , let ur penis heal , i panic too, and then try my own home remedies and irritate it more, ive learned to relax and let it heal slowly , my docs have looked at it and they say its fine , im sure these doctors didnt go to school for nothing
