I've been experiencing some issues after masturbating where I get small cuts on my foreskin, and it's becoming a bit of a concern. They tend to heal after a few days, but as soon as I masturbate again, the same thing happens. It's quite painful, and sometimes I can't even retract the foreskin because of the pain. I'm worried and wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if there's anything I can do to prevent it. Could you provide some advice on what might be causing this and how to stop it from happening?

It sounds like you may be experiencing irritation or minor abrasions on your foreskin, possibly due to friction during masturbation. I recommend using a gentle moisturizer or emollient to help soothe the area and reduce friction. If the issue persists or becomes more painful, it may be helpful to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I noticed that the back side of the top of my penis got swollen after I masturbated last night. It's kind of worrying me. What could be going on, and what should I do about this?

Could be due to irritation or inflammation. I recommend using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to reduce the swelling and discomfort. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area twice a day for about a week. If the swelling does not improve or if you experience any pain, fever, or discharge, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
