It also sometimes oozes from the skin or the sores. I'm not sexually active, but I do masturbate. Is this normal, and what can I put on it to heal it?

If your technique is rather rough and you don't use lubrication, yes – it happens sometimes. You should definitely use lubrication to keep this from happening in the future. As for the sores, try a first-aid cream like Neosporin or zinc oxide to speed the healing of the spots you have now; it will help if you don't masturbate for a few days. But if you do, use a lube.
