Cut base of Penis..cause for concern?

I cut myself at the base of the penis with an electric razor (the kind you shave your head with). There was only a little blood, I was able to stop the bleeding by lightly compressing some toilet paper on the cut for a couple minutes. it' s a scary place to cut yourself, is there a chance I could have cut a vein or a cut into the internal tissue? Or is the fact that there was only a little bleeding indicative of it just being a cut that is skin deep? Its kind of an embarrasing thing to go to the doctor for so I just wanted to see if this sounds like my health anxiety acting up again or if it could be cause for concern.

    I wouldn't worry mate, i have cut my penis with a razor. I have also cut my helmet badly and it bled for ages. Stopped eventually... Sounds like a typical shaving cut and nothing to worry about.

    Keep it clean so it doesn't get infected.
