Hi XXXXXXX thanks for your query. I read your problem & saw the picture. Following is my reply : 1) This is a minor trauma. This is common sometimes after having sex. Not to worry. 2) Generally it heals back to normal within a week. 3) I advice you to keep it clean & dry after washing it atleast twice a day. 3) There are few oinments which you can apply. But as of now there is no need as wound is minor. 4) Stay relexed & maintain hygiene. Regards, Dr. Mahesh Koregol
