Does A Small Cut On My Balls During Trimming Cause Any Problem ?
While trimming down there, I got a small cut on my balls. While trimming down there, I got a small cut on my balls and it was bleeding for a minute or two then stopped. Am I going to be okay or will it get infected somehow? I shower daily.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Small superficial cuts can heal without problem, provided the area is kept clean.
You may clean the wound and surrounding area with diluted savlon solution (available in medical shop) and apply betadine skin ointment.
If it is more than one year, when you had tetanus toxoid (TT) injection then it is better to take a TT injection also.
Don't worry most likely it will heal without problem, if you follow above mentioned instructions.
