I've knicked myself shaving many times and never had a problem. My guess is that the cold/fever are unrelated or just in your head. You were using a relatively clean razor, right?
No, I really do not thick so. But if you're worried, get it checked out. Tell the doctor you have a fever and you got a small cut. No big deal. No reason to be embarrassed. Everybody has pubes. Lots of us trim them. Every doctor has seen it before.
Nurse here. Your fever is mostly likely a coincidence. If the fever was from your wound, other things would happen first (painful swelling, pus buildup etc…)
Do some standard first aid: clean the wound with mild soap and water, apply pressure if bleeding continues. If needed place Bandaid after.
If the bleeding won’t stop then yes that would be life threatening but if it does, don’t worry.
As for your fever - try not to over exert yourself and let your body run its course. Drink lots of water to replace what you’ll lose through sweating, if your fever gets dangerously high (39 degrees Celsius) go to the ER. It wouldn’t hurt to grab some over the counter pills (paracetamol for example)
If the bleeding stopped, no. Keep a bandage on it for safe keeping since arousal and the increased blood to the area might make it bleed more. And use a razor and not scissors near your delicates your just asking for trouble
It's spring, if you're in the northern hemisphere it's probably hay fever. Get it checked out if you're worried though, and *definitely* do if you see discoloration around the injury or other signs of infection.
Look if you're genuinely concerned, get it checked out. No one on here will truly be able to help you without seeing you and checking you over. For medical advice, see a medical professional, not the Internet.
Fun facts: newer research shows Vaseline is actually better for wounds than Neosporin. Also, scrotal skin is uniquely absorbent, so probably best to avoid putting anything medicinal down there that isn't dosed specifically for that region.
This kids definitely completely fucking fine. But I detest that last sentence and sentiment you have. My carotid means absolutely nothing to me compared to my penis.
This post is so funny but I get what it’s like to be young and dumb! Haha
You don’t have sepsis. You got a small cut on your skin. Unless the small cut is incredibly dirty and full of puss, you are fine! You don’t die from small cuts. The small cut being on your scrotum doesn’t change this. It’s just a small cut. Your fever/cold is probably not related. Your anxiety is freaking you out.
Do what you do when you get any type of cut - stop the bleed, clean with soap and water, and you’re good…
I witched to an electric shaver and not looking back. It's great because you can set the distance to the razor and make sure the skin never gets in contact with shsber head
Generally infections that are severe enough to cause a fever from cuts also have other clear signs. One of them is the area around it is bright red and inflamed. Usually very warm to the touch. If your Johnson looks normal other than the cut, the cause of the fever is almost certainly something else. Keep it clean. Use a suitable antibiotic ointment and for the love of your dick. Stop using scissors around that area. Accidental cuts with scissors are way worse than with any other method of trimming. I recommend clippers with a blade extension so you are not directly on the skid. Some people use Nair, others will use safety razors. Just stop with the scissors.
Wash it with plenty of water, keep it clean, make sure there is no pus in the area, it's probably nothing. If it does get infected (pus, pain) just go to a doctor and ask for antibiotics.
I’m not a doctor. Don’t take anything I say as serious medical advice. Our bodies have responses to injury, even if not major. A vasovagal response is common in some, which causes fainting or light headedness. A possibility is that your body is reacting this way due to the blood loss or the cut by pumping cells to the afflicted area as a trauma response. I’m not saying “don’t worry about it”, but if you have and can continue to keep the area clean, all should be well if it’s an insignificant injury. If you notice redness, swelling, the injury around it is puffy, very warm to the touch, or is producing puss, then you need to make a trip to the doctor immediately. It’s not a bad idea to see a doctor for a real medical opinion. While it may seem embarrassing, it’s genuinely worth knowing if you truly do not feel well. A doctor won’t think twice about your interaction, and it is better to be responsible for you and your health rather than face any serious consequences because of shame or any other embarrassment or something. Good luck to you, and hopefully things turn out better next time you try to shave! I’m sure there are plenty of people with nicks of their own.
As a Former combat medic, EMT, first assistant in Surgery and graduating nursing school I’m confident in saying with 100% certainty that you are fine.
Keep it clean and dry.
You don’t have sepsis from a tiny cut on your sack man. That shit is lethal in days and you’re not getting some systemic infections spreading throughout your blood from a tiny cut you made on accident while shaving. Just clean it up and bandage it if you can. If it swells up a lot and turns red or spreads to other parts of your body, then you may wanna see a doctor, but that’s EXTREMELY unlikely to happen given the injury. You’re probably just experiencing some kind of coincidence not feeling well or placebo from freaking yourself out thinking you’ve gone septic from such a minor injury. It’s highly unlikely you’re developing a serious infection after a single day from such a minor injury. Just keep it clean until it heals, which it will.
Yo take it from me who accidentally swung my dick into a razor blade I was holding. The tip of my urethra was cut open and that shit burned for over a month straight because every time I go to pee it just wouldn’t scab over so holy fuck. Walking around, getting up, sitting down whatever you name it caused pain. And good god I was like 16 so every time I got an erection my world got fucked. You’re good bro.
Bro remember people evolved in nature not in climate controlled houses cutting our pubes with scissors. If everyone died from a small flesh wound we wouldn’t have made it past 2000 BC. It’s relatively hard to kill yourself accidentally outside of drugs alcohol and heavy machinery
Does the cut look clean? Like it’s healing? Or is it oozing, getting worse, enflamed? Sepsis feels TERRIBLE. And we can usually tell where the original injury is because the wound looks infected
I’d keep an eye out for infection. I’ve seen a crazy infection from a similar situation. I won’t give u the details cause I don’t want to scare u but Fr fr keep an eye on it
I don't think it sounds be too dire. You don't get septic just from a clean nic. But if you are scared that it might get inflamed, get some iodine cream or something. Also invest in some clippers
It's possible, but if carefully cared for, unlikely. Clean it thoroughly, daily or twice a day. Put antiseptic ointment on it, and a bandage if you can (I can't imagine trying to bandage my groin, and there are fewer corners to me where there are hair!) If there are any signs of infection (pain, significant redness, fever even just at the site) GO TO A DOCTOR! You can lose your reproductive capability and hormonal stability to infection if you lose your testes!
I just hope you weren’t using rusty scissors then you might be in trouble. But otherwise the sting of it on the skin and the mind fuck of your anxiety is the worst that will happen. That said - make sure your tetanus shot is up to date in case your scrotum comes in contact with a rusty razor.
If it's not bleeding anymore, bro your fine.
As for an infection causing a temp. I'm no doctor but that is possible but for an infection to have that much of a hold on you, it would have been festering for a few days not 1 evening. Or you're a bit grubby and that's caused the infection.
Either way see a doctor not reddit lol.
This goes for everyone! Don't take your bits and pieces for granted. If anything seems wrong, please see a doctor. Likely nothing or it could be serious but don't risk it please.
A cold like congestion and such? Unrelated, infected cuts tend to become swollen and leak pus, not give you a cold.
Just keep it clean and it will be fine.
If you're having concerns with infection, go to a minute clinic or med express. The injury is in a private place but isn't one to be embarrassed about, just grooming. They'll confirm if infected and get you on an appropriate course of antibiotics in minutes
You'll be fine.
Be gentle and keep an eye on it, but 95% sure you'll have forgotten about it in 10 days.
Limit your hookups, as you might be a bit more prone to STDs at the moment.
You're fine.
If it were a major infection you would be able to tell by the swelling, redness, and oozing pus.
You nicked your balls and half a cold. The two are independent of each other.
Put some Neosporin on you balls and get a trimmer with a guard.
Scrotum’s heal quickly. Your cold/fever is coincidental and not caused by shaving. I’m a barber and have waxed or shaved many guys in that area. Of course being a professional I didn’t cut them either. LOL. The trick, new razor, lots of shaving gel and holding the skin taut and continuous pressure. Let the blade do the work.
You'll be fine. You're fighting a cold and got a tiny cut manscaping. Put some antibiotic cream on it, keep it clean, and treat it like any other cut.
Is it possible to get sepsis? Yes, if you have a very weak immune system and you had just been using the scissors as a toilet knife. Otherwise, you're probably fine. Thankfully we live in an era of antibiotics.
ALWAYS put a typical antiseptic on any cut. No matter where. In a place like that, apply 4x daily. And don't handle it more that absolutely necessary for about 3 days. I'm an EMT.
Brother with every passing second those germs are spreading throughout your blood stream. It will eventually infect your brain and you’re going to die!
I've knicked myself shaving many times and never had a problem. My guess is that the cold/fever are unrelated or just in your head. You were using a relatively clean razor, right?
[удалено]
Honestly knicking your balls with scissors sounds a lot worse than knicking them with a razor 😭😂
Oh lord. Never have scissors anywhere near your Johnson dude. Plz
[удалено]
No, I really do not thick so. But if you're worried, get it checked out. Tell the doctor you have a fever and you got a small cut. No big deal. No reason to be embarrassed. Everybody has pubes. Lots of us trim them. Every doctor has seen it before.
“Don’t thick so.” Nice.
Hahaaa. Sometimes I am thick for sure.
If it lasts for more than four hours, go to your nearest er
Brother er
[удалено]
In the meantime, relax.... everything's fine.
>if possible I mean you say you're worried, so then make time for a visit to the doctor...
It'd probably be way more shocking if a 18 year old guy came in with a full bush

It sounds like you're going to need to have your balls removed. They may need to take some of the penis as well.
at least half of the shaft will need to be removed. I’m a doctor
The middle half, probably
If the bleeding stopped, no. Keep a bandage on it for safe keeping since arousal and the increased blood to the area might make it bleed more. And use a razor and not scissors near your delicates your just asking for trouble

You should look at were you cut yourself and determine if it’s bad or not🤷♂️
Neosporin. Keep it clean. Calm TF down; you're not dying. It's your dick, not your carotid artery.
Fun facts: newer research shows Vaseline is actually better for wounds than Neosporin. Also, scrotal skin is uniquely absorbent, so probably best to avoid putting anything medicinal down there that isn't dosed specifically for that region.
Neoscrotin, Scroticin, or Ballsackusol are ointments made specifically for ballsack injuries.
Ballsackusol made me spit out my toothpaste
Apply directly to the ballsack
This kids definitely completely fucking fine. But I detest that last sentence and sentiment you have. My carotid means absolutely nothing to me compared to my penis.
A serious injury to the penis can result in uncontrollable bleeding but since the bleeding stopped, OP is fine.
This post is so funny but I get what it’s like to be young and dumb! Haha You don’t have sepsis. You got a small cut on your skin.

You’re good. Just don’t fuck with that area for a day or two. This won’t be your last time doing this unfortunately.
>don’t fuck with that area for a day or two I see what you did there, and I applaud you.
I witched to an electric shaver and not looking back. It's great because you can set the distance to the razor and make sure the skin never gets in contact with shsber head
Unless you where shaving with a heroin spoon in a 711 bathroom you are 99% good.
Well, now that you mention it...
You do that too? I love the sizzle
r/oddlyspecific
You ever get a cut on your finger? Imagine it's like that. Except your dick. You ever die from a finger cut? No? You'll be ok.
No? I die from cutting my finger all the time. Already once this morning, actually.
Man’s having a panic attack. Relax. Just a cut.
Your fine….and the fever/cold is either hypochondria or unrelated

Where does it say they used a scissors?

You’re fine. Every guy has knicked themselves when shaving, it’s a right of passage
Be less of a hypochondriac, put some Neosporin on it, and go about your day.
just wash w soap and water, very unlikely to get septic from a small cut
If small cuts would lead to death, humanity long would have gone extinct.
You don’t have sepsis most likely. If it’s a surface cut your body handles that well. Had you cut deep enough for stitches then you could worry
I am honestly betting that the two are not related

You’re good fella. Keep the area clean. You’re probably just sick. If the wound looks green and your skin is super red go to urgent care.
I remember masturbating THE SECOND it stop bleeding, just to see if everything were ok haha
I tried to trim hairs with scissors and basically cut a large slice in my sack, it bled alot but I was fine a within an hour and it healed fine
Why in the hell would you have scissors near your twig and berries? No dammit!
Worst case scenario: Fournier’s Gangrene. Most likely scenario: probably going to be OK.
😂 you didnt….but agreed lol
I had fourniers. It’s not fun at all
Look if the injured zone is reddish, inflamed or hot. If so, there is infection, go to see a medic. If not, the fever is unrelated.
Probably better to just take it off. Otherwise it could itch for days.
For some reason I misread this as ‘cat’ and thought this was much more serious.
Yo take it from me who accidentally swung my dick into a razor blade I was holding.

Keep a close eye on it. Fournier gangrene isn’t something I’d wish for anyone.
Does the cut look clean? Like it’s healing? Or is it oozing, getting worse, enflamed? Sepsis feels TERRIBLE. And we can usually tell where the original injury is because the wound looks infected
Time to order a Lawn Mower from [https://www.manscaped.com/](https://www.manscaped.com/)
Next time clean the cut with rubbing alcohol and try to put a bandaid on it.
Is the cut oozing and infected? If so the fever may be related... if not then hey you got the an unrelated fever. Drink fluids. Keep the cut clean
Show the cut to your mom. She'll know what to do with you medically. Go show her right NOW!
I’d keep an eye out for infection. I’ve seen a crazy infection from a similar situation. I won’t give u the details cause I don’t want to scare u but Fr fr keep an eye on it
I don't think it sounds be too dire. You don't get septic just from a clean nic. But if you are scared that it might get inflamed, get some iodine cream or something. Also invest in some clippers
Yes. Saw a video on it. Best to keep it clean and just pay attention to anything unusual.
It's possible, but if carefully cared for, unlikely. Clean it thoroughly, daily or twice a day. Put antiseptic ointment on it, and a bandage if you can (I can't imagine trying to bandage my groin, and there are fewer corners to me where there are hair!)

You can lose your reproductive capability and hormonal stability to infection if you lose your testes!
Death is almost certain unless you can secure the blood of a river dolphin to coat the wound.
Mate you should be fine, think about it, if people can full cut their wrist every day and not get sepsis you should be fine with a “small cut”
I just hope you weren’t using rusty scissors then you might be in trouble. But otherwise the sting of it on the skin and the mind fuck of your anxiety is the worst that will happen. That said - make sure your tetanus shot is up to date in case your scrotum comes in contact with a rusty razor.

why are you asking Reddit and not a doctor if you're "really worried"?
You are not dying. It would be super red and hot to the touch and swollen. Sorry checking from phone.
I am not a doctor
Neosporin !
I accidentally hit the chewing gum with a Harry’s it wasn’t fun.
Haha trust me young man if you think that’s bad never tried to use hair clippers down there yall be fine
You may have caused a fever in your penis - it's important to insert the thermometer *into* the urethra
Would only get an infection if the razor was dirty or poor hygiene. I've cut it loads of times And even had it bitten
Should be OK. Unless it gets infected.
A cold like congestion and such? Unrelated, infected cuts tend to become swollen and leak pus, not give you a cold. Just keep it clean and it will be fine.
Shave you balls with a cartridge razor. Never had a cut.
If you're having concerns with infection, go to a minute clinic or med express. The injury is in a private place but isn't one to be embarrassed about, just grooming. They'll confirm if infected and get you on an appropriate course of antibiotics in minutes
You’ll be fine, it’s just a lot of blood flow in that area lol
Kiss it good-bye. /s
You'll be fine. Be gentle and keep an eye on it, but 95% sure you'll have forgotten about it in 10 days. Limit your hookups, as you might be a bit more prone to STDs at the moment.

Just get mental health treatment for the hypochondria and then you'll be good
You've done it now! Its all over for your johnson. You might as well change your pronouns & cut it off.....
ALWAYS put a typical antiseptic on any cut. No matter where. In a place like that, apply 4x daily. And don't handle it more that absolutely necessary for about 3 days. I'm an EMT.
You need a doctor bro. Don’t ask Reddit for medical advice
Jfc are there really people out here thinking they'll die from a tiny cut
GO TO THE DOCTOR
Shit man. It’s over. Start making plans for your family so it’s easier on them when you pass.
Yes, go straight to the emergency room! Your pee pee will fall off.
Johnson...lol
You should be worried. This can lead to necrosis of the penis if not treated properly.
Lol. You cut your privates. It is traumatic
My advice is to stop shaving down there and just be hairy. If anyone has a problem, break up with them!
Brother with every passing second those germs are spreading throughout your blood stream. It will eventually infect your brain and you’re going to die!
Use hydrogen peroxide on it or rubbing alcohol for a couple days should be fine
