Hi, I was trying to shave the hair around
my genitals, and I was trying to just get
a little bit of hair off the back of the
shaft (area of shaft closest to scrotum),
and my hand slipped and I nicked myself on
the shaft and maybe the scrotum. Where I
nicked myself on the shaft, it bled, but
not badly. I cant tell if its deep, but it
seems like i just cut myself nothing
worse. I used water with a little bit
lower than room tempurature water to make
the skin contract to stop the little bit
of bleeding faster, then I tried to clean
it with room tempurature water, but the
cut opened up again. I held a clean towel
to the shaft and it closed within seconds
again. I dont want to have to go to the
doctor for this, because it would be
emberassing and I think if I just had some
help and knowledge I would be better off.
Thanks
EDIT: Also, I was hoping to have a little
bit of fun possibly today or within the
next couple of days. Please, I hope I
won't have to lay off of that for too
long. Will I?

If its a small cut, ur body will probably
repair itself within a week. But if its
worse than that, you should see a doctor.

I used an electric razor with 6-7 teeth.
4 teeth caught my shaft. I have 4 small
cuts on the shaft. Only one of the cuts
opens up a little and bleeds, but I think
I will be fine. Do you think I will have
to skip the sexual activity I may be
enduring from today up until the next 2-3
days? I had some plans for today and later
this week.

If only one cut bled, I don't think its
that bad, but maybe skip sexual activity
for just today to prevent the possibility
of cuts reopening?

Ya, I think a bandaid will help. I don't
think anything will happen if you get an
erection, but something might happen if
you masturbate or have sex

Ok thanks. I actually loosely tied a
ripped up part of an old tshirt, would you
rather use that or a bandaid? And, should
a shower be ok and not open the cut,
because I need to take one very soon.

A shirt may actually be better than a
bandaid cuz it permits more airflow to ur
cut, letting it heal faster (bandaids are
more designed to stop bleeding). I think
showers will help ur cut heal since it
moisteruizes and is nice and warm, idk,
that's my guess, lol

I would avoid intercourse. Till its
completely healed
One because it could reopen again- cause
infection-
The other reason would be because of STDs
Anyway, good luck. I hope you're felling
better. I would have Polysporn on your
penis with a small bandaid (bandaid so the
medication doesn't make your pants a
mess... during the day to make it heal
quicker - and nothing at night just have a
shower take off the bandaid and let it
dry out and scab at night. OR Vise versa.
:0 I hope you're feeling better..

Thanks, I have already applied the
bandaid, so instead of enduring the
painfulness of ripping off the bandaid. I
am feeling better, and i wasnt planning
intercourse but more like oral. Anyways,
no worry for STD's since her and I were
each others firsts. So, no oral today,
abut what about in the middle of the week?
Thanks for everything!

I may be a little late responding, but I
wanted to add in that make sure if you use
the old shirt it is clean because
otherwise you might get a nasty infection.
Also, make sure if you are engaging in
sexual activity that the other person is
std free because the open wounds on your
penis would put you at high risk for
contracting something.

That shirt had come from my drawer after
being in the dryer, so it was clean. Plus,
I used a bandage anyways. These cuts were
so small that the scabs are already
falling off and healing. My ex and I
aren't having sex, but if we were, we were
our first and only's so far, so if we were
to do so, there would be no risk of STD's.
Thanks for your concern, and yes I feel
VERY foolish because I realized I put this
in the wrong category O__O wow
