Q: about a month ago i got a friction burn that eventually scabbed then scarred. its very small maybe like half an inch scar. i was able to have full erections after but recently ive noticed my erections have softened. is this from the scar?

: No. friction burn is on the skin which does not take part in erections- which occurs when the cylinders enclosed by it are engorged. You dont need any treatment and things will normalize soon.
