Scared to death - Day 22 after Circumcision

[Pampoen]

I never expected it to look like this and I'm very concerned that it might not be healing well enough. Before I trot off to the doctor, can someone please tell me what this looks like? Does it look like it should? What's the "gap" between the outer shaft skin and the inner - it looks "raw and open" to me. I have been on antibiotics twice (once for 5 days - from the Thornhill clinic) and again for 7 days this last week because I had stuff oozing out and some pain and swelling.

Any feedback gratefully accepted - do I need to go visit my GP or is this looking OK?

I have a second pic of the other side but not sure whether I'm allowed to post more than one. Will give it a go. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi there - there is no pain and no bleeding at all. You still think I should go to the doc?

Go to your doctor and fix the gap

Thanks!

Call your surgeon. Sometimes they can put new stitches in. The skin should grow in and fill the gap but that may take a few more weeks possibly a few months before you can resume sexual activity. I would ask your surgeon to check it out. Mine saw me a few times after surgery to check my progress and hear my concerns.

[Pampoen in reply to BearPaw]

Thanks - will do that. At the moment it's pretty much pain free so if it's just a matter of waiting for the gap to "re seal" then I'm tempted to wait for it to do that. I think what happened is that the ribbing on the tight briefs I was wearing in the first week must have ripped the stitches out just in that spot.

Thanks, Bucky85. Will ring the surgery and see if I can get an appointment.

An update - as usual cannot get a quick doctor's appointment so I have rung the Thornhill Clinic and sent them an Email containing the pic. They said they would come back to me to let me know what I should do.

I have the same problem as you! What dis the doc say? My “hole” is just bigger.

[Pampoen in reply to JonasSchumacher]

Hi Jonas I have not had a reply yet from the Thornhill Clinic so will ring them tomorrow. Will update you afterwards.

You should try and phone 111 and explain the issue. They should arrange a hospital appointment for you
