I'm 24 and I've been masturbating for the past six years. Lately, I've noticed that the shaft of my penis isn't as soft as it used to be. There's also this numb and itchy feeling that comes with it, and its been worrying me. I stopped masturbating for a bit to see if things would get better, but I haven't noticed any changes. Should I be talking to a dermatologist or a urologist about this?

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed a change in my urine color; it's turned orange. I'm also experiencing some stomach discomfort. Could this be caused by taking Supradyn capsules? And if it's not related to that, what else might be causing orange urine?
