Brief Answer:
Need a little more information and a clear picture if possible sir
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I can understand that there are chances of chafing taking place due to masturbation over 15-20 times a day, but just to be safe I would like to know a little more:
1. Are you also sexually involved with someone?
2. Have you ever been sexually involved with anyone in the past?
3. If yes to either 1 or 2 or both, then do you know the sexual health status of that individual or was the female a stranger?
4. If you don't mind, could you share a clear image of the effected region, just so I can rule out other causes
I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further.
Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
Possible yeast infection, a few instructions, pls consider
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir and thank you for the information and pictures.
In my opinion the bumps and presentation could be due to chafing or a yeast related issue, here are my suggestions:
+When you masturbate, make sure you use a lubricant to do so to avoid chafing. Also, once you climax, make sure you wash and dry off the region immediately after to avoid the growth of fungus or yeast in the region which strive in moist surroundings. But this is only once you recover
+Use miconazole cream over the region, to be applied over a clean and dry region three times a day for the next 5-7 days
+Avoid masturbation and sexual intercourse for the next 10-14 days
+Make sure you take care of your safety before indulging in sexual acts with strangers and also request them to wash up before the act
+Try to wear loose inner wear for a while, just so we can allow the region to be dry for a few days
+After taking a shower or washing your genitalia after passing your bowels or urinating, make sure you dry off well enough
Please be patient and follow my instructions religiously to see good results, but from the look of it, it doesn't look like a sexually transmitted infection to me. I hope this helps sir.
Best wishes.
