Most of these will selfheal without treatment over a few days to a week or so. Abstaining for a two-week period may be enough to keep the site from re-opening with sexual activity.

Give it time to heal and it will heal on its own. To prevent injury, use a liberal amount of a water based lubricant like K Y jelly for sex. Abstain from sex for a couple of weeks to give time for the cut to heal. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Agree with Dr. Ferguson…additionally, you can try applying Aquaphor to the area a few times/day to help with healing and protect the area from irritation by urine and clothing.
