You can see the stitches healing on the sides, but I’m concerned about the front or top part where it looks like the foreskin is not attached , but it may be due to the fact that the stitches are lower in that part and the swelling is covering it. The presence of the blood there scares me.

Do you have a follow up booked iwht your doctor? Mine did the same thing when he took the stitches out after 1 week, it healed fine i think it just took a little longer.

Yes, follow up scheduled in 4 days. Mine are dissolvable sutures so we’ll see.

Good to know yours turned out ok then. Can’t imagine what it would be like if part of the foreskin wasn’t attached lol..

It will heal up and will start to look good just be patience which is the hardest thing to do after being circumcised lol

Hey man I just went through your posts and saw that you had quite a bit of swelling too at first. Did it also create a ridge to where you couldn’t see the sutures at the front part and it seemed like the incision was opening? I think it may just be from the ridge of the swelling but not sure. On the sides and back (frenulum part) the incision is for sure closed but can’t really tell about the first part.

Don't don't don't panic it's part of the healing trust me I was same after every night for a few weeks due to hardons through night as you cant spunk the now to stop them 3 weeks u will be alot better and if Muslim and washing after every pee I know your ment to do that but try to leave the scar area to be as dry as possible water in hand and just clean bellend only if you do so no offence m8 I'm just trying to cover all that can cause that good luck

It may be due infection. You must see your doctor or surgeon who has done this operation

Surgeon was inexperienced it seems. He has cut in wrong place , but do not worry these will heal and you will have no problem
