Circumcised 18 days ago, when will the bumps go away? (Picture)

I've been to urologist yesterday and they removed all the stiches. I asked about the bumps and the nurse said it is normal and nothing to worry about and that the healing is doing fine, and she scheduled me a control visit in 2 months. My question is if anyone had this bumps can you tell me when can i expect them to go away and what can i do to make the process go faster?

What i'm doing now is first i gently rub ice cubes on the bumps and then i wash the entire area with baby soap whitch the nurse recomended. Any other tips?

Thanks i will start with the sea salt soak and bio oil and hope for the best..

Glad to hear yourse went away in 1-2 months i hope ot will be same for me

Thanks for the advice!

What do you think is better, bio oil or coconut oil?

I understand it can take long time, but is it possible for it to settle in month or two?

Hey It’s been almost a month since I was circumcised and mines are just starting To fade-away , I’m using vaselin and aloe Vera and it’s helping a lot

How's the healing and which treatment has worked best for you, e.g. reducing bumps?

Using bio oil for now, still no major progress, im not gonna stress just yet il give it one more month and if i dont see a radican change im gonna ask the doctor on my control visit and if i dont get proper explanation on will and when will it go away im gonna cut those lumps with razor

in reply to

You said in your OP that you used ice cubes daily and since appear to have stopped, how much did that help to reduce the swelling?

in reply to

I was doing it for like a week and a half and couldn't see or feel any use of it so i stoped.. i think it didn't do anything really

Interesting to hear, thanks.

Hey just wondering if the bio oil worked for your bumps. Did you use anything else also?

in reply to

No bio oil is a waste of time, used it for almost 3 months and nothing changed, my urologist told me that its just skin and that it will eventually even up. I read a lot of times hear that for some people it can take even up to a year. So i will give it time but if even after a year nothing changes im going to cut them of and wait for wounds to heal..

in reply to

Thank you. I kind of was thinking the same thing about the bio oil but there seems to be a loyal following. Did you try vitamin e by any chance? How long did it take for the swelling to go down?

in reply to

I dint try vitamin e only bio oil and ice (few times a day for like 2 weeks), but no improvments.. I remembar the swelling after the circumsion when my penis was enormous and everything was really really paintful, it took about a month maybe a little more for it to settle down and for the discomfort to go away, but the bumbs are still pretty much the same and i dont know if they are part of swelling beacuse it doesnt feel swollen, but they are a little hard on touch and i still have a little bit tight feeling all around the scarline where the bumps are, so it could be the sweeling but im not sure..

in reply to

Thank you that’s good feedback. I wonder if your bumps can just be cut off?

in reply to

Well as my uologist told me its just skin.. So i think nothing bad can happen i mean what if i accidently get cut there its just a cut it will heal as it would anywhere else on the body.. Plus im going to do it very sterille so it doesnt get infected or something.. Only problem is that its gonna be very painfull for sure but if i got trough the operatio itself im gonna make it though that as well.. The worst think that can happen is that it will leave a bit noticable scar but i wouldnt mind as it for sure cant be worse than this bumpy as fuck scarline.. But i still hope it will not come to that and that it will fade out after some time.. Like i said im gonna wait for a full year to pass and then im gonna decide

Hi... I had my Circumsition almost 3 months ago. And i had the same bumps. After taking the stitches off. It started to vanish. Is just swollen skin. Nothing major. Let it heal by itself. Use bio oil.
