Hi,
Silvadene cream can be used on the skin aspect of the penis but not on the glans or the mucosal aspect of the penis. But, it can lead to some skin staining so it is best to avoid it. the bleeding must be due to the Xarelto which is causing the blood to ooze easily due to decrease in clotting capability.
I suggest just keep the area clean and dry and wait for a week or so and then take a call whether anything needs to be done. You can then consult a Dermatologist for best advice.
Take care,
