I have an abrasion on my penis shaft which began with dry skin and turned into a bump under the skin which opened a bit. concerned about infection etc

Watch and see...: If indeed what you described is just a skin abrasion with subsequent redness, just keep it clean and dry with no need to overuse topical antibiotic cream; it will dry up and heal quickly in 3-5 days in a healthy man. If not as expected, see doctor soon for timely attention to rare nasty infection.
