Day 6 post circumcision-have i delayed healing process by accidently breaking off small bit of thick black scab on underside of penis?

Local care: Fear not, this will still heal fine. Keep clean with gentle use of soap and water in the shower, and do not hesitate to apply a triple antibiotic ointment lightly each day. This will soon he'll in on its own. Avoid sexual activity for several weeks until clear to prevent further compromise of the incision.
