I have a scab on my penis right below the head. When I apply aquaphor it goes away, but if I masturbate it comes back. When I peal off the scab there is nothing but pink/red skin under. What could it be? It doesn't really look like warts or herpes but idk... Some sort of infection, like bacterial? It's been like this for a couple weeks. Any ideas? I really don't wanna go get tested... Too much pride...
Why are you peeling off the scab? The scab is to help the wound heal. Pink/red skin under a scab would usually be considered normal. Keep the area dry, as best you can, and clean until it heals.
Do you know what caused the scab in the first place? Was it from trauma? If it just "appeared" then it could the sign of an infection and should be checked out.
