Suggest Treatment For Wound On Tip Of Penis
Question: My boyfriend has a cut on the tip of my penis from dry sex. Soap and everything stings is he able to put paw paw on it and how long will it take to heal? He really wants to have sex but says it hurts? What can he do?
Brief Answer:
Healing period is usually about a week.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me assure you that,the cut is due to a friction, from lack of lubrication over that part.
The cut usually heals over a period of a week, depending on the extent of the cut.
Ask him to apply Neosporin or a Betadine ointment over the cut.
Both should be available with a doctor's prescription or a licensed pharmacist.
Avoid using soap over the cut this week.
Penile hygiene is important. Further sex will cause delay in healing, and aggravate the injury further.
Wish him well.
