Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I've had a cut on my penis that stopped bleeding after applying a band-aid. Now the area is red and itchy. Should I be worried approximately this?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

You should continue to care for the wound by keeping it clean and covered with a dressing. Applying antibiotic cream can help prevent contamination and promote healing. Itching and redness are common during the healing process and usually not a cause for concern. However, if the symptoms worsen or if you notice signs of infection such as increased pain, swelling, or discharge, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Thanks
