Men who have undergone local procedures in the genital or anal area (eg, abscess drainage) find it difficult to get a bandage to adhere to the skin because of the pubic hair. Shaving the area increases the risk of infection and is also something many patients prefer not to have done. A women’s mini sanitary pad applied to the man’s underwear over the site of the procedure is frequently sufficient to absorb the blood or drainage. We keep a few pads in stock so that men can avoid the embarrassment involved in shopping for "feminine hygiene products."

My suggestion:

Take a tablet of Niacin100 mg.(This is the only Niacin Immediate Release.i.e, the 100 mgm).Put the Niacin under the tongue,and let it dissolve in your own saliva.Then take some of the saliva on your finger and apply it on the wound.Any germ present in the wound are killed instantly.

Read about it in Immunology?Opsonization/complement.

What about the rest of the pill sublingual?It get absorbed

into to sublingula veins and distributed to all 100 trillion cells of your body within 10 seconds(The half life of Niacin is 28-45 minutes).side effects none but the flush.How to avoid the flush?When you put the niacin sublingual,put somethingto eat in the mouth(Not a meal,no citrus at the same time).My experience?wounds heal within 1-2 hours,

Why,do you think,Mothers kiss their babies,and animals lick their wounds? Goodby bandaid!
