I've had this issue where I accidentally cut my penis somehow last week, maybe with my nail or a zipper, and now there's a scab on it. It's about a centimeter long and hurts when I touch it. What should I do?

It sounds like you may have a minor wound on your penis. To help with healing and prevent infection, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin to the affected area twice a day. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any further trauma to the area. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
