Question : I am a 32 yr old male. I had a chemical burn just below my navel. The skin turned dark brown, after few days brown skin peeled off and pinkish white surface appeared. After few days, I masturbated and worry that semen may have touched that skin wound. I took bath 5 times after that with antibacterial soap. Is my wound fully semen-free and clean? Please help. Thanks

Brief Answer:
There is no reason to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

obviously only you can tell whether the semen reached the skin wound but it doesn't matter anyway! The semen particularly if only a little drop made it to the wound (so you couldn't tell with conficence if it did or not) is not supposed to cause any harm. Just keep the wound clean and it will heal with time.

I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.

Kind Regards!

Thanks for your answer. I just want to make sure if cleaning the wound 5 times with antibacterial soap and once by antibacterial wipe completely cleans the wound off semen? Please confirm this. Thanks.

it's more than enough!

You're welcome.
Your wound should be clean now, please don't worry. Also take into account that some antibacterials may impair the healing process, so use them with caution.

Kind Regards!

Thanks alot for easing my mind. I am an OCD about semen so thats why I had to confirm it twice with you. Please also advise if you can prescribe me an anti-androgen as I cannot get it from where I live? Thanks.
