I was using my electric shaver this am in the shower to have a bit of a trim and it caught part of my balls and produced a very small cut. Probably no
More than 10mm accross with just a tiny amount of blood ( barely noticeable)
I’ve washed it and put a plaster over it to fully cover it , should I be doing anything else and should I be concerned?

Thanks

My advice would be stop doing that.

Ouch
Just keep an eye out for infections.
I have done the same thing.
Hurts like hell, but it should be fine.

I have had nicks and I just follow the wound care I was instructed for my implant incision. That was to apply a thin layer of Bacitracin ointment and cover with a sterile pad. A plaster (Band-Aid) will work.

You are correct to be concerned. I use alcohol wipes to wipe down my penis, scrotum, and upper inner thighs after I shower. this is to prevent any jock rash or any other growth's. Infection risk is low past 1 year post op but there is always a slight risk and infection prevention is needed as long as you have an implant.

Just use good wound care and you should be fine.

To avoid this in the future, consider having laser hair removal done at a local spa. It is extremely common for men to have the hair semi-permanently removed from the pubic area and most places do this for men. If that is not something you want to do, consider using a double blade disposable razor nd then use Tend Skin to prevent ingrown hair.

In trimming I have knicked myself. I was in a panic but no issues.

I have started using "mens hair removal" cream available on Amazon. Works well but don't leave it on longer than the directions.

Nicked myself more than once when I used to shave. No problems as long as you clean it up and keep it clean for a couple days. A bit of antibiotic on it is good. I actually nicked myself pretty good preparing for my vasectomy. Told doc I started without him.
