I was in a hurry and while I was removing my shorts,i did it a little too harshly scraping a little part of the penis head. Very little blood came out due to the grazed skin.what should I do for the treatment?

I think you can let it heal naturally, unless it starts to look infected.

Did you use your fingernail when you scraped it? Was it your zipper?

I would just use a very gentle soap - not your usual man soap, but maybe Ivory or Dove for Sensitive Skin - and keep it clean. Don't scrub it, just very gently clean it with a clean towel, and pat it dry.

If you find it scraping or rubbing against your clothing, you can make a bandage with gauze and tape, and if it looks infected try a little neosporin on the bandage.

Oh and change the bandage at least once a day.
