Hi,

Since you already checked for sexually transmitted infection. It can be due to dry masturbation causing injury. Have adequate lubrication next time for masturbation / sex.Bacterial / fungal infection can also produce dryness. Share a picture for confirmation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. S. R. Raveendran, Sexologist
