Sore on shaft

I noticed today that I had a sting on the left side of my shaft when masturbating. I see a sore spot or split skin.

Does anyone know what this is? It’s sore!

Any creams to help?

Looks like you have been overdoing it a bit? More lube!

If it doesn’t settle get checked out.

I don’t use lube when JO so maybe torn dry skin rather than herpes (sore). Foreskin was circumcised a bit too short so I have to pull a bit during JO.

Hope it all settles down for you!

Looks like might’ve been a zit or a bug bite. I’d treat it w topical ointment. But, if no improvement have yr doctor look at.

I had something similar looking! It was ingrown hairs for me and you likely need a prescription steroid cream. That’s what I got.

Probably an ingrown hair. I shave my shaft hair and get those. Try some topical ointment first.

I would get some Alpha Armor. It's a special ointment for circumcised men. It will heal the skin and keep it moist and sensitive. alphaarmor.men It works great for me.

Not what you're looking for?
