Day 17 Post-Circumcision question

All my stitches have fallen off, and realized they most came undone when I would shower. On the back of glans I have a slight opening along the incision. The stitch that was attached there had fallen off, is this something to bring attention too, any suggestions? Also, I have a slight bump along the incision line, does that fade?

Hello, I had this problem, I immediately placed some Steri Strips to close the opening. Then you just have to wait until the strip falls off on its own and it's healed.

Thanks a lot, I’m about to buy some. Thanks for the tip

The slight opening will heal up but it will take longer as the skin will need to fill in the gap. The bumps should go away on their own but that will take time

For day 17, you are looking good. It’s going to take some time for healing. For the dryness, use Vaseline daily. For myself, I only used Vaseline and it been 6 months. And I am doing just fine. Hang in there.

Not what you're looking for?
