Will Wound In Glans Cause Permanent Scarring After Healing?

hi there, 3 days ago i accidentally scratched my bf's glans while having sex. He has 2 little wounds, one of them was a superficial scratch (more like a skin irritation) and the other one bled when it happened. Both look red right now, and the wound that bled has a scab on top. I would like to know if glans wounds heal properly as any other wound on other parts of the body, and dont leave a scar. He is afraid this wounds would create permanent scarring. Also, do you recommend use of vaseline or any other moisturizer for the healing scab? Thank you!

Thank you for your question. I don't think this scratches and abrasions are deep enough. Glans is highly sensitive and vascular structure , so it bleeds on minor trauma. This superficial wounds heals predictably in 7-10 days. Don't peel off the scab already formed, use a antiboitic oinment preferably neomycin group in thin film until scab seperates itself bridging the wound with regenerating mucosa.
