Does Superficial Cut On Penis Lead To Infection?

Hello, I was trimming my pubic hair with scissors when I accidentally cut the skin at the lower end of the penis/start of the testicles - it s mainly superficial but am worried in case it gets infected. I washed it with warm water and put a plaster on it - is this ok/ will it heal properly? Many thanks Tom

Hi,
No issues,don't worry about it,normally many a times many have have sufercial cuts while shaving or trimming,
Just keep the are clean and apply some antiseptic like savlon or dettol,
Wash your genitals after every time you urinate,
I think plaster is not needed for superficial cut instead keep it dryand clean,it will heal soon,

Hope this information helps.
