iodine and penis growth

Hi, Im a 18years old boy from Italy(so excuse me for my english) and I have a problem that is literally ruining my life, so Please read me really carefully. I don't know if my fears have any fundament but I really need help because im scared, I know this could seem a joke or something too stupid to be true but trust me im extremely serious and worried here! My question is about a(possible) link between Iodine and genital development. When i was 13 I found a little cut on my penis, nothing to be worried about; just a lil cut, so I stupidly decided to disinfect it with the first thing I found: "IODOSAN - GOCCEMED" [ http://www.maccari.it/prodotti_foto/63941.jpg ] which is an antiseptic for the mouth, I used it all over my penis and testicles and that kinda hurted and burnt but I thought that were normal, then after like 30 minutes(without washing) my skin started to peel and that's pretty much all.
But then growing in age and looking at my penis as "small" i started surfing on the net and noticed alot of links beetween words Iodine, genitals growth, thyroid and penis size in general so this has triggered my fear about being the cause of the problem.. My question is this:-please answer me!- is it possible that the application of the medicine could have somehow altered the natural growth of my penis and testicles? This doubt is killing me because my penis is 13cm(so "normal" but still small) and im worried that this could be all my fault!

Thank you very much for your time and again excuse me for grammatical mistakes

Please feel free to ask me anything if you need

THE BODYS BACTRIA ARE LIKE GOOD AND BAD SOLDIERS, THE BODY NEEDS THEM BOTH.  YEAST IS A GOOD SOLDIER. AND GRAINS LIKE OATMEAL PRODUCE  HOREMONS.  WHEN THE BACTRIA GETS OUT OF BALANCE IT CAN BE DISTRUCTIVE AND LEFT FIGHTING THE BAD BACTRIA.

I can assure you that Iodine has not harmed you internally. Whatever has happened to the skin is temporary and you might have regained the original color and texture of the skin. I am not a doctor but I am sure about Ioding and thyroid problems.

Im sorry for the delay on replying doctoy, thank you for your response.

So can you assure me that the application of the medicine has not somehow penetrated inside skin and organs and did several damages to the natural growth of them?

Be assured that application of iodine does not do any permanant harm to your penis. If you are hypothyroid, you may get it confirmed by getting t4,t3, and tsh tested. Thyroid deficiency will have effect on the general body and not on penis only. Best thing would be to consult your deocter to get the test done. Iodine application has not efffect on penis except on the skin which will recore eventually.
