I've noticed I had a cut somewhere on my penis, and I'm wondering how I should treat it. I think I scraped it with something by accident like my jeans. But I'm not too sure, do any of you have any suggestions? I believe it is a cut, but I'm not too sure. When I shower and the water touches it, it still hurts. I haven't had sex with anyone, and I am not a drug abuser.
Thanks.

Hi,

This could indeed be due to trauma or irritation. If it is a superficial cut, it will heal after a couple of days. It is important to keep the area clean and dry and to wash it gently to prevent more injury. However, if there are other symptoms present and it persists, have this evaluated further for proper management.

Take care and keep us posted.
