How To Treat A Bruise On The Scrotum Of My Son?

My 6 year old son fell on a bar in the playground and ran to me crying saying that he hurt his penis. He says that his scrotum doesn't hurt, but there is a dark reddish "bruise" on the tip. We have given him an ice pack, but is there anything else that we need to worry about and/or watch for?
