Suggest Treatment For Scraped Skin Of Testicles
Hello, I was skateboarding today and my board landed vertically and I landed on it with my testicles. I have scraped a bit of skin slightly beneath them (back part where the sack connects to the rest of the body) and it bled a bit but it doesn t seem to be deep, just the skin really and doesn t hurt that much either, but should I be worried?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of getting a scrapping injury to the scrotal skin by accident of scrapeboarding.
Since this is just a skin deep, you do not have to really worry about.
I would advise you to apply liquid povidone iodine 2-4 times a day, this gives sterile skin so that there is no chance of infection.
Get an antibiotic cover if the wound is large enough.
