Exam: Please have him checked for both skin infection and/or STD. Abstain sexually until her is cleared medically.

Change creams: I cannot say if it is scarred or not but I would apply Vaseline or Aquaphor several times a day, and refrain from sex and masturbation until it heals-which will probably be a week. Any trauma to the area will prevent if from healing.
