Why do i have a dark circle around my penis ? Excessive masturbation maybe ?

[Alexandro01]

Hello everyone, i'm new here. I'm 21 years old, and i have been masturbating for a nearly 8 years now. In the last three years, i have been noticing a dark circle around my penis (it's where i usually put my hands while masturbating, and i rarely use any lotion to masturbate). I've been also in a period where i masturbated up to 5 times a day.

I don't know if it will go away if i stopped masturbation for a while, or should i see a doctor asap. I also have this small bump in my testicles for about a year now.

Please if you have any advice do not hesitate. I don't know what to do :/

Hey Allesandro,

Firstly always seek advice from a doctor as it will help speed things up . Don’t feel embarrassed to show them, they deal with these types of situations regularly.

Secondly, I suppose it’s just a mark from friction caused by masterbating dry . Try to use lube or some sort of suitable oil , as it will reduce friction marks . Remember every man has a unique and different penis . Yes masterbating is normal , but try to take breaks from it once in a while .

All the best !

Feel free to ask any questions.

The dark mark is probably just cosmetic but the lump in your testicles is of greater concern. See a doctor as soon as you can and have the lump examined. You can also mention the penis discolouration.

A dark circle around the shaft results from a circumcision done with a Gomco clamp.
