3 months later and I have not had a sexual relationship with anyone since but the red area got worse so I don't think it could be a STD .

It would look a little different in that patch normally but when I would self stimulation (even not touching the area) it would flare up bright red.

I went to the doctor when it was normal and he suspected ringworm fungus or something and gave me some antifungal cream .

I chose the cheap one at first and it did not improve. I then chose the expensive one and it improved. It slowly went away for a week but then when I masturbated again it came back.

What is this? How can I rid myself of it?
