Brown 'grip' marks on foreskin covering penis head

I have some strange brownish marks on the head of my foreskin - I think they're from masturbating too much and they don't appear to be going away (have been there for year+).

They appear to be located near obvious veins - so when the foreskin retracts over the head and back - they appear to have developed where my fingers overlap the "bump" of the head and the shaft. Are they broken capillaries that just won't heal? Or is it possible to develop scars just from the friction? They're not apparent when I have an erection.

Hey,

I have the exact same thing and I went to my doctor who thought I might have some type of allergy and recommended some cream which hasn't worked.

She (My doc) also identified them as bruises. (How embarassing!). I also read a similar story on one of these posts regarding another guy who used hydrocortisone cream to clear his problem up.

Also same thing man, mine are not apparent when I have an erection.

I'll try the hydrocortisone cream and if that doesn't work I'm lost!
