I cut scrotum with rusty razor while shaving i got my tetanus shot 5-9 months ago i washed it out with soap and water, hydrogen peroxide too. what now?

Replace razor: Sounds like a manscaping mishap. Keep an eye out for swelling, redness or pus coming from razor cut. Otherwise, wash scrotum daily, let wounds heal and get a new razor.

Ouch: If the cut is superficial just apply neospoin ointment twice a day for 3 days. If the scrotum begins to get red swollen or painful see a doctor asap.

Seriously?: Why would you ever use a rusty blade anywhere on your body--let alone on a sensitive area that would be seriously affected by an infection? Tetanus and washing are fine, peroxide not needed (dangerous?). Use a triple antibiotic cream (neosporin) as directed. Call your doctor asap if any swelling or discoloration of the area occurs. Next time you feel the need to shave--spring for new blades.
