Thanks for the advice
I’m on day 11 and mines is similar to yours (actually thought it’s my penis but soon came to the realisation that I’m black) was getting worried but I guess I’m good (after seeing your). Please continue providing updates on your healing process, I will also do the same.
Sure I'll keep on updating , actually I was worried about the swelling and went to see the doctor few times already and he said that it is completely normal and with time it will heal .
Happy to know that your one is similar to mine lol.
Thanks bro, are you (were you) applying any ointment to assist with the healing
Yes using a ointment but stopped after stitches fell off in 3rd week
Thanks bro, I stopped using the ointment since I decided not to go anywhere the past days, guess I have to start using it again

What ointment did you use?
Thanks Bro I am on my 4th day and it is swelling on left side and can't bear a soft touch also...I ringed to dr and he told me it's ok. Bit still I was feeling uncomfortably. But after hearing you now I am feeling relax.
My son got circumcision on Friday I want to show how its looking cause am very scared don't know if this is the way it should look but I can't seen to add the picture
Ya sure can you send the pic
Can you show me by any chance your stitches at the frenulum I’m on my 10th day and I want to see ignorance everything ok (I’m a minor so I won’t send a picture)
I got circumcised on Friday the 2nd..
Are yyou clear now?
😂 came to the realization that it wasn’t your penis because your black

Starting 5th week now and still weeping clear pus. Also have a blister/ulcer on wound which is very sore and causing severe depression. Anyone else had this problem?
Try to use solcoseryl jelly . Very useful . Trust me on this .
Did you get circumcised?
Yup but got my two stiches off due to erection which ended up with a huge wound . Been using the gel for about 2 weeks now (currently week 6) , and its healing very well .
Which gel are you using.. I have 6 days now and I'm using water and salt I want something better to use
Honestly its not enough . Chlorehexidine kinda useful to clean when the wound area when its sloughy or yellowish . NEVER EVER use hydrogen peroxidase or alcohol based solutions . Once the wound is less yellowish or slough , just shower using johnson baby shower gel , let the water flow through . Dry the area using blower and apply SOLCOSERYL Jelly and wrap the wound with loose gauze . Cover with gauze till you see a healthy granulation tissue (reddish dots and seems like bleeding kinda red) , you can speed up recover with zinc supplements . Trust me you will be just fine by 3-4 weeks .
P.s : i felt what ur feeling now but trust me just hang in there man all gonna be alright .
When you completely recover bro?? Like sleeping erection and pain not hurt any more running easily and when you try first masterbation? I really want to but can’t due to feel same like you
I'm on week one. They told me not to put any ointment or Anything on it period, let it heal on it's own
Hey dude how’s it going now?!
Let it heal it self when I pot sum think on it is Bad
Bacitracin seems to be doing me justice im on day 7
Thanks mate
Mine looks similar and I am post op week 5. Swelling on one side only the other side has gone done quite a bit. Been told it was perfectly normal too
How’s you swelling looking?
Better and evening out but still a bit swollen, although it seems they left some skin since I am a Grower. When erect it smooths out almost no swelling.
I guess time and patience is the key
hi mate, im just over 2 weeks in and ive got the same ring type swelling. Do you or did you also find that it weighed your penis down when flaccid? I have to pick my penis up by the head if i want to adjust it when standing as the swelling makes it weigh so much at the end.
Yes mate , I had to do that when I was on week too . Now it's not a problem but swelling is still there . Week 6 now
I feel your pain bro. I’m only week 2 but still I haven’t seen an improvement in the swelling. I’m not the type of person that can just wait months and hope for the best. Does anyone know if we can drain this mofo swelling of the lymphatic fluid?
I also had the swelling on the left side of my penis but the surgeon advised me to keep the penis in upright position. It did work for me. Am happy with the healing after 5 days
I've been advised to use ice and all . I've tried everything . Went to see doc again yet he says with time it will be normal .
Guess I can't do shit but wait.
As it needs to drain it makes sense to keep it in an upright position for as long as you can everyday. I’ve bought some jock straps and have my penis in it touching my belly button if you get what I mean. Let gravity help us out bro
Has the swelling gone down a bit more now mate?
Yes gone down a bit but not completely gone .
Sex and masturbation feels great .
I'll keep updating
I wore a cricket box on and off for several weeks until sensitivity decreased
How’s the swelling looking now? I’m 2 months in and it looks like yours. How long does it took to heal? Was your tip also swollen?
• in reply toJohn12123
This is why the swelling doesnt go down as it should because some of you continue having sex and masturbating .
Its pretty obvious if its swollen let it heal and the inflamation go away .
Abstinence 4 to 6 weeks all aftercare post op say that everywhere .
Nothing bad happens with no sex or masturbation for 6 weeks
BlackThanos69• in reply to
It’s been almost 4 months for me and it’s still a little swollen. Is it because I am having sex and masturbating?
Hey man, do you have scars from the stitches? Cause I'm healed I dont wanna get oral and have her feel the scars cause it's not smooth
Still there . 3 month 15 days
Has it decreased at least? Did the doctor say you can have sex? How much longer did the doctor say till the swelling to go away
Yes has decreased . Doc says might take a year to become normal .
How is the swelling doing now man?
Looks good m8
Still swollen ?
Nope it's fine now
How long did it take?
How long did it take in the end?
How long did it take?
Hey Jimmy how long did it take
It has been two weeks since I was circumcised. Everything looks fine but these is black scab formation where frenulum is attached to inner foreskin. Is it normal?
I have the same question
Any updates?
Then it tooks 4 months to fully deflate?
Is there any update? I’m having exactly the same swelling after 4 weeks
Hi Jimmy Health, I am facing the same problem as yours and in the 20th day after circumcised. My foreskin become swollen in the right side. I see the Dr once and he reassured. Hope it is going to be better and better. Please keep updating your blog about your healing process. Thanks in advance.
What's up fellas.i just got a circumcision, it's been exactly 1week.. to the ones that have fully healed, do you guys have scars from the incisions? Like when your fully erect and you get oral, is she gonna feel the bumps from the stitches??
I also healed in a week is it normal
Hey man thinking the same thing is there scars after it’s healed?
I live naked nudism after circumcision.
Same lmao
I got 1 week covered took my first bath with applying 2 ointments on regular basis(one for sensitivity and one for stiches). working well still a bit swollen and black near incision and frenulum. Head is still alot sensitive so i lie naked the whole day around with support of 2 cushions will keep yall updated do lemme know if yall got queries cause i have looked and read alot. If yall wanna see the pictures lemme know i will create an account for it and give updates about in per week
Hi, I’m on day 3 and skin is swollen around stitches how long does it
It takes time. And patience.. No false hopes like around a month or 6 months probably. Best it to follow the medications and taking care and follow the dos and don't. And emphasize on not doing sexual for 2 months at the least be it masturbation
Bro .... What about the swollen now .... In how many month ...does it become normal... Please say ... I m Rahul from Delhi... Same ring type swollen like u
Hi there. Mine looks exactly like this 4 weeks after circumcision. The swelling just appeared two days ago. The pain and bleeding was completely gone, so I started exercising pretty hard (cross-country skiing). I am 41 years old. Wondering if those with similar post-healing swelling had also been exercising?
Yours looks great compared to mine its been 4 weeks since op

same happen with me dude. im in 4 week
I have the same thing! Does yours bloated skin hurt A LOT when you touch it? I was legit crying when I went back the second day to get dressing chanced. I can live with the bloated skin for a while....butwhen does the pain go away?
Thanx for sharing pic. I also have some crazy swelling going on and was starting to freak out but now that Ive seen your pic im feeling much better now. Had my dorsal slit surgery 5 days ago.

What’s up jimmy how’s it going did the puffy swelling go down. I am on my eight month of recovery from my circumcision. Still looks the same. Look similar to yours. I keep hearing that it will take a year and that it’s normal so now I’m just waiting for better results.
Well I was told to gently compress the swollen part 4 to 5 times a day (by medical Male circumcision professionals) with a warm & wet cloth, iam doing exactly that n it looks better and better, iam only on day 6 n hopefully I'll be okay by next week
Exactly… the lymphatic vessels get damaged and need to heal. That takes time and will eventually get better. Lymphatic fluid can be gently massaged away. All of you will eventually forget this happened. Time heals all wounds.
Damn….mine looks like that but I’m only on day 7…I hope that it gets better and that the swelling goes down. I keep getting constant erections which is giving me a tugging and pinching feeling. I hope that it’s a good thing and that it means it’s healing. Your picture is the ONLY picture that’s closest to what mine looks like. I was beginning to think maybe the doctors fucked up.
Hey Jimmy how the swelling going? Has the swelling flatten down? Mines look similar to yours.
Hi! how is the swelling now?
Hie guys l got circumcised 6 weeks ago and my dick is still swollen like yours Jimmy,what should l do...yes l have had sex and masturbated
Hi, how are you now?
I’m looking to see when redness will go down. Been 6 days and it’s red along the one side with little swelling. Is this normal?
I’m over 2 months in and mine is a balloon of swelling. How can I treat this at home? How is yours Jimmy?
