Doctor's answer:
If the trauma merely affects the surface of the skin with minor abrasions, it's not a big problem. You can use Betadine to clean and sterilize the area. Afterward, let it air dry to resolve the issue. It will gradually heal completely. Remember that the skin of the penis is quite delicate, so other disinfectants are not suitable for the skin and can cause significant irritation. Therefore, Betadine is the best choice in this case.However, if the injury is deep and affects the corpus cavernosum, there's no doubt—seek immediate surgical treatment at the urology department. The sooner you do so, the better.
