Can Masturbation Cause STD?

Is it possible to get an std from masturbation or any none sex related cause? I ask because I have been getting some form of sores on my penis, yet I am very much still a virgin, and I now get a bizarre white substance from my sores, and I know for a fact that it is not semen, as well, the sores hurt if water touches it, or anything else, and I believe I have sores under my foreskin, it s quite excruciating when I try to pull the foreskin back to clean it.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Masturbation does not cause any sexually transmitted disease as it is self process. Unless you have any infective lesion on on your hand it will not cause any infection.
Sores on your penis definitely pointing towards some form of infection either bacterial or fungal. This may be due to improper hygiene of genitalia, too much perspiration causing moist surrounding around genitals or any infective material on innerwears.
You should visit a doctor and he will prescribe you appropriate antibiotic after examining your lesions.
