Red Spots on backside of penis- diagnosed as eczema by doctors, but I disagree

I love to masturbate, being that I'm single, but I believe that it finally caught up with me. For a couple of months, I masturbated about 2 times a day with K-Y jelly, mostly because of depression in my life. After one night of masturbating, my penis burned and was extremely red and irritated. Inflammation was terrible. I noticed red spots or sores spread out around the backside of my penis. For days the itching was terrible. I finally bought a steroidal creme called Cortizone 10 at Walmart and it really helped with the inflammation. Eventually, my skin became very dry and flaky and started to peel. I completely stopped masturbating, but noticed that these spots wouldn't completely go away. I have never had sex before, so I knew they couldn't be an STD. Finally went to the doctor, and he said that I had eczema on my penis and that there was no cure for this condition. He said that eczema was a hereditary trait for people who had allergies or hay fever in their family, and prescribed me a stronger steroidal creme. I'm really worried about my condition. I don't think I have eczema, I think I irritated my penis from masturbating too much. Possibly because of not washing my hands at times- maybe a bacterial infection. Or I was wondering if it was a form of dermatitis or something else that will possibly go away with another treatment. Nobody has this skin condition called eczema in my family, and most people who have this condition have it on their face or elbows or somewhere else, not the penis? Sorry for this long post. Any ideas?

Im pretty sure it is excema. I ran into the same problem: lonely guy masturbating away, start using lubricants and bam! red, itchy spots on head and shaft of penis that eventually dry out and flake.

The reason I believe it is excema (and I have not seen a doctor about this yet $$$) is because I have had excema since I was a very young child. What is on my penis looks very much like what was on the inside of my elbows as a kid. It flares up if I masturbate and looks MUCH better if I refrain for several days/weeks and use lots of lotion.

I've done some research about this on the net and it appears that in almost every case the doctor tells the patient it is a bacterial infection but then antibiotics don't help and they re-diagnosis it as excema. Hope this helps.
