Is it looking okay or there is some problem or sign of any infection?!!

Please give suggestion if possible.

Thanks in advance 🙂

It doesn't look infected. It looks as if one stitch ripped open the wound and caused the bleeding. Everything is still very swollen but it's not abnormal for being only seven days after the procedure. Does it hurt?

No it does not hurt

Don’t stress yourself , everything looks okay , let it heal mate .

Follow my post about aftercare , you have a complete guide , it will heal fast if you follow it .

Swelling , redness , head being sensitive , the look you have now it’s all normal

Thaks.. I will 😊

I followed these instructions to the point and recovery was fast and healthy without complications at all .

I am not a medic and this is based on my own recovery , all that was here was given to me on a aftercare sheet post circumcision by the urologist that performed my circumcision.

Around 7 days off work will be enough , if your work involves a lot of movement . For office job you can go to work the second day.

No masturbation , sex for the next 4-6 weeks minimum / no smoking , drink plenty of water for hydration , sleep properly and eat well .

Swelling , bleeding , bruising are competely normal during recovery , if bleeding continues for more than 2 - 3 days contact your doctor , of you have a weird smell that is a sign of a post op infection and it’s treatable with a course of Antibiotics for 7 days .

Night erections will be painful , for a while around 7 to 10 days . Avoid too many of these or completlely by emtying your bladder before going to bed.

Use only intimate shower gel to wash , or emolients . Normal shower gels and soaps contain alot of igredients and perfume that do more harm then good during the recovery of your circumcision , they destroy the natural barrier of your penile skin , which in the longterm leads to dryness , redness and inflamation .

Recovery supplements : Vitamin C 1500 - 2000mg/day for 10 days only / Along with Vitamin E capsules / any smoothies for IMMUNE SYSTEM help very much .

1 . Take off the original Bandage on day 2 or 3 , remove it slowly as there will be bleeding on site , and if you see that some of it it’s not removing leave that part and cut the rest with scissors , eventually the remained bandage will fall off by itself .

2 . Days 3 to day 10 Apply Fucidin or Fusidic Acid 3 times a day , a thin layer to be applied , Keep your penis in thight Briefs in upwards position to limit movement , that gets rid of bruising and swelling during recovery , keep it bandaged with fucidin applied as there should not be rubbing , moving to allow the skin to absorb it and do it’s job properly .

3. Days 11 to 30 , apply Bio Oil or Vitamin E spray , or Olive oil on the site 2 - 3 times a day , this will be continued for the next 2 - 3 months , as your guy will be very sensitive .

4. Do not scab the sutures or try to pull them out , they will fall off on their own when the time is right.

5. Your new exposed skin and head will need an adjustment period to the exterior factors : clothing , touching with anything . The sensitivity will take time to subside , mainly the frenulum area.

The skin on the head will look dry and have scabs that is normal its the process of keratinization in which the skin forms a protective barrier to get rid of oversensitivity .

You can start having sex after 6 weeks but take it slow for a while , use lube with masturbation and don't be harsh with it
