What Causes Bumps On Penis Head Along With Dry Scaly Skin?
Question: I masturbate almost everyday and recently there have been bumps on my penis head. I feel like they are blisters/caused by chafing because they don't burn, hurt, or have puss, and they look like dry scaly skin. Is this normal? What should I do? Oh, and I know it is not from sex cause I am a virgin...

It is the effect of excessive friction.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the details provided and have checked the images. You need not worry. The changes on the glans of penis (head) are caused due to excessive friction due to the masturbation. Although masturbation is acceptable, excessive of nothing is good and perhaps you would like to reduce the frequency. Otherwise it is fine and not a cause of concern and nothing specific needs to be done about it.
