Still nothing?
(Sorry, I meant to post this to the Docs)
After masturbating in the shower last Thursday I noticed a very small cut/abrasion (about 2mm) on the side of my penis. This is the first time I've noticed anything like this since I started this post. Prior to that time I hadn't noticed any pimple or redness at all in the area. (I had been using Dial soap as a lubricant if that's relevant). It was not painful or sensitive to touch at all.
I watched it closely. The next day it was considerably smaller, and by Saturday evening (2 days later) it had basically fully healed with no scab. May have been a bit pink for a day, and now - less than 5days later - is basically invisible. I have not had any questionable encounters since the one last discussed in late July.
Please tell me this is simply another byproduct of my hyper-anxiety and I promise I'll move on. Thanks in advance!

This indeed sounds like a minor traumatic lesion, certainly no STD. Don't worry about it.
