Hello,
The treatment for a cut on the penis usually depends on the underlying cause. Do not touch or scratch. Ointments or creams help relieve itchiness and irritation. Apply hydrocortisone cream for relief from itching. For a fungal infection an antifungal cream is needed.
Since the bump is hard, it can be a wart so get STD test done to be on the safer side. If test result is positive your treating GP will prescribe an antibiotic or antiviral medication to treat an STI. For people with genital warts, or hard bumps the treating doctor may recommend removal by laser surgery, electrosurgery or cryotherapy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
