I am worried that I have necrotizing fasciitis (the flesh-eating bacteria) due to a small cut/irritation on my genital area from masturbating. The cut appeared last Sunday, is scabbing, and had a little blue scab on part of the cut. I applied Neosporin on Monday and today. I took my temperature multiple times and it ranged from 95.6 to 98.9. Can a cut in this area still get infected by any disease, including necrotizing fasciitis, and what steps should I take to ensure it heals properly?
