I'd suggest getting a tetnus shot, or booster if you haven't had one in the last 10 years or so. You never know when you'll be exposed to the stuff. Generally speaking surface wounds aren't enough for lock jaw to get going. It needs a nice deep wound where it's dark, moist and warm. It is possible for things to develop if you don't keep a shallow wound deep, but it's usually a deep wound.Stepped on a rusty nail and barely pierced the skin?
get a tetanus booster if you haven't already had one in the past 10 years.
You should immediately have your penis amputated dumbass
Have you gotten your Teatnus shot in the last 10 years? I hope so... Though, you probably would have had signs of lock-jaw by now, but that's the only concern... otherwise, just dont' do any running so that you can let it heal and you should be fine enough....
I think you are ok, you washed it out and disinfected it. it wasn't deep enough to leave bacteria in the cut.
You should suspect tetanus if a cut or wound is followed by one or more of these symptoms:





Stiffness of the neck, jaw, and other muscles, often accompanied by a grotesque, grinning expression.


Irritability.


Uncontrollable spasms of the jaw and neck muscles.


Painful, involuntary contraction of other muscles.


In some cases, symptoms will develop in the absence of any cut or wound that you can recall. In addition, you may notice restlessness, lack of appetite and drooling.


You are bitten by an animal or wounded by an object that might be contaminated with dirt, feces, or dust, and you have not been immunized against tetanus or received a booster within the last 5 years. Tetanus infection can be fatal and should be treated as soon as possible.
Type tetanus shot in your search engine and see if you think you need one. I can't really say, as I can't see how deep your wound is and you should consult with your Dr.
To get tetanus, need deep penetrating wound, but stranger things have happened. So I would suggest you see a nurse/doctor and then follow their advice.
