A member asked:
If i have a small scratch/open wound on my hand that is not bleeding, if i use that hand to rinse and wash my penis, am i afraid of any infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing to worry about. You cannot cause infection by contact of a cut or scratch with other parts of your body. Your penis is no more susceptible to infection than anywhere else.
