You can nick your balls while shaving. It can happen to anyone. So, if you find you’ve cut yourself while shaving, there are a few things you need to do.
Whatever action you’ll take next depend on the extent of the wound. If the cut is deep, you need to call in an ambulance.
If it’s a small cut, you can stop the bleeding with a styptic pencil or toilet paper.

What Should I Do When I Have a Cut?
You need to first stop the bleeding. And then complete some first aid steps to keep the area clean and free from bacteria.
This calls for having a first aid kit beforehand.
If you don’t it’s necessary to stock your home with one. Get a tissue or toilet paper and dab it on the wound.
Stuff some of the tissue on the wounded area to clot and keep the blood from rushing. Remember, it may not stop immediately.
But soon after, the stream of blood should reduce.
Once the bleeding has stopped, apply ointment to the area. Ensure that part is clean and dry to hasten the healing and prevent the growth of infection.
If the cut reaches the cremaster muscle or the fascia, you should expect lots of bleeding. So, you may not be able to stop it yourself.
In most cases, you’ll need the help of a professional. Of course, go ahead and handle it if you’re a medical professional yourself and have experience.
I know the first thing that comes to mind is to come online and look for a solution.
But I’d advise against that. It’s better to call your doctor or go to the nearest hospital. When you’ve done that, then come online and learn more about the situation.
Should I Use Hair Removal Cream?
When I cut myself when shaving down there, I often think of hair removal creams. As much as they’re painless and easy to use, I don’t recommend them. I don’t use them for a few reasons.
First, they come with their own side effects. You can experience allergic reactions, rashes, irritation, chemical burns, and the likes. If you have sensitive skin, the problem may be worse.
They also contain chemical components that can lead to pigmentation and other skin problems.
I avoid any product that contains chemicals as much as possible. Unless there are no alternatives, I don’t touch such products with a ten-foot pole.
If you must use them, ensure you read directions and warning labels carefully. They’re there to guide you on whether the product is good for the private area or not.
How Long Will Bleeding Take When You ake a Cut to the Scrotum?
There is no maximum time it’ll take for you to bleed out.
As long as you handle it properly by applying pressure over the cut with a tissue or toilet paper, the bleeding should stop and clot.
You also shouldn’t be too concerned about how long it’ll last. When you get a cut, you need a lot of patience. Do your best and wait for the bleeding to stop…simple!
Why Did You Shave Down there?
This is a funny question. But tell friends and this is the face some of them will make. But there isn’t anything wrong with shaving your balls or manscaping.
It keeps you fresh, clean, and most importantly smelling nice. You get fresh air there and you have less work to do when washing the area.
How Do I Shave My Testicles If I’m Afraid to Cut them?
No matter how good you are, you’ll probably end up with a small nick. I still do.
Fortunately, these cuts do heal.
And sometimes fast that I don’t even notice again after the first time. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind:
- Use a good safety razor.
- Don’t go too fast.
- Do it where there is enough space, preferably in your bathtub.
- Pull your skin tight and flat for smooth sailing.
- Get better at it.
Conclusion
Ball nicking during shaving is a pretty common occurrence among men.
If it happens to you, there is not much you can do except take some of the first aid steps mentioned above.
I’ve cut myself many times and I’ve already forgotten many of those occasions. You usually don’t worry unless the cut is deep.
