As long as you keep the area clean and put on some antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or the generic name is called triple antibiotic ointment you'll be just fine. Unless you cut yourself so bad that you needed stitches you can take care of it on your own. Just make sure to put on the topical ointment twice a day and take a bath or a shower to soak the area with warm soapy water that will keep any dirt out. If your jeans are rubbing and irritating the area you can keep a bandage on it but take it off at night so it can get air. Just make sure that the cut and around the cut doesn't get red or have any kind of pus or oozing . If that happens you need to go to the Dr. for some antibiotics other wise the keeping clean and neosporin should do the trick.

Ouchie!
If it's a small nick, just make sure to keep it as clean as possible, wash with antibacterial soap and try and keep it as dry as possible. It will heal. It wouldn't hurt to put some antibiotic cream like Neosporin on it either, will aid the healing process for you. Good luck!

wash the cut with soap and water, then put some neosporin on it. If I knick myself like that, I usually just do that, and put the neosporin on again before I go to bed. You'll be fine regardless of where you knicked yourself, it will hurt for a little bit, but just keep the area clean.

Um use a razor and not scissors. Then use neosporin. Dont bandage area. Let it air dry. Shaving or trimming aint so badd... Wait to you have facial hair.

Dont concern yourself. It will fall of on its own in a few weeks. lol
Seriously :
Keep the cut clean and dry. If it get infected then swallow your pride and go to a pharmacy.

ewwwww! first, just put some antibacterial cream on it, and it will be fine. Second, don't shave "down there"!! My hubby did this one time, and I was horrified! I think men should be hairy everywhere, chest, back, legs and especially in the treasure area. I hope you will take my advice. But if you don't please be careful next time, you could really hurt yourself.

I am afraid there is no hope. It will fall off in a puss filled painful blob. Just kidding.
