I have a small red abrasion on the shaft of my penis. i bought antibiotic ointment yesterday. anything i need to worry about?

Likely okay: Keep the area clean. Apply the cream 2-3x/d as needed & minimize penile use (just pee) & this should heal easily in a week or so. Get in for an evaluation if the area seems to become red/swollen/painful.
