I had epididymal cyst surgery on both testicles before and now the scan shows bilateral varicocele with pain. My scrotum sometimes shrinks in size and I can feel heat and swollen veins inside. What could be causing this and what should I do?

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?

That could be due to fungal infection usually,visit your dermatologist for evaluating any active infection and appropriate management,you can use intimate moisturizer.
