So about a week or two ago, i think my penis was might of been dry but not sure. I masturbaited dry as i usually would and didnt really think nothing of it. Im not sure if i had done it more since or not but i began to notice a white ring which looked a bit like dry skin from the retraction/protraction of the penis right where the crease would be (uncircumcised) i noticed it and made sure to moisturise it and be a bit more careful and started using a bit of lube in the future. To find out that this white ring and turned into 3-4 vertical cuts which became a little bit painful but nothing crazy. I then decided to leave it alone and let it heal up. Since then i feel like it has healed up now but maybe not 100% i can still see a bit of redness in the area slightly below where i thought i had the issue.
However i seem to have a bit of an issue now
- When erect once i pull my fore skin all the way back, it has this very tight feeling
- My erections are no longer as big
- My sex drive seems to still be there mentally but physically my penis don’t respond the same, i feel less connected to it and its less sensitive or something.
Ive never had issues with dry masturbation before nor have i had issue with cuts or pulling the foreskin back fully when erect.
Obviously these 3 in combination is worrying for me as i want to just sexually feel the same again.
Ive had a look online at a few different things but not sure exactly whats going on. Could i have an infection? Or is it just it needs to heal?
Im not sure if i should moisturise it and also encourage retraction when erect or just leave it alone to fully go away?
Happy to answer any questions. I would have just left it alone in hindsight.
