The tip of my penis has been swollen since this morning, and I masturbate pretty regularly. I came across some information that said it might be from excessive or forceful masturbation. The swollen part is really sensitive and it hurts whenever it touches anything. It's painful even during simple activities like walking or doing chores. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will just heal on its own?

The swelling and sensitivity at the tip of your penis could be due to irritation, inflammation, or minor trauma from excessive or forceful masturbation; apply ice packs to reduce swelling, avoid further irritation
