However, it has been about three days now, and the cut has not scabbed or closed. It is open and slightly moist. It still does not hurt however I have taken to putting neosphorin on it. It's appearance and size has not noticably changed.
My question is; does it normally take this long for a cut on the penis to heal? I've been telling myself that it's probably taking longer than a cut somewhere else on the body because the soft nature of the tissue there, the amount of friction, expanding and pulling etc.
Also, what type of doctor should I see for this? A dermatologist?
Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but this will heal spontaneously in a few days.Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin.Also wear cotton undergarments.Application of an antiobiotic cream like Neosporin or mupirocin and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful.Avoid sweat accumulation and any friction or trauma to the site. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
