Will these cuts heal?

So, this has happened before to me. I am circumcised and was new to masturbation, and I went a little bit too hard, and accidentally tore a bit of the skin on my shaft.

I didn't treat it or think much of it. I kept on masturbating. It would hurt sometimes. It eventually scabbed up, and I don't think it scarred.

It's probably been a year since, and I kept looking at it funny. Sometimes the area around it goes red, sometimes it appears to darken, but the discoloration has been going away.

Now it looks like there's a kind of fissure where the wound is, and I'm worried it might not heal/restore.

That's my vision of the future. But it's now occurred in a new spot, and the new wound looks larger than I remember the first one being.

I feel like my mistreatment of the first wound lead to the cell death or whatever that's left the hole now.

Is it possible for me to treat this new one better, and retain my flesh?

I'm sorry if this is a common question.

The new wound looks like a centimeter-long line, slightly brown, I guess it's scabbed, I guess what I want is for it to scar, so that the flesh will be repaired.
Is it possible for it to scar, and how can I ensure it does, in stead of leaving a cavity like the older wound?

I'm having the same issue, and I can't stop masturbating. I easily go three times a day (I'm young). I was only woreied this morning because the blister/scab was a deep red. I am 98% sure that I do not have an STD, but I am worried that this is a permanent issue.
