3 days post circumcision

Hi all, I have been recently circumcised and I was was wondering what is he best way to wash it? I tried have a shower on low heat but it was very uncomfortable I'm assuming this is due to the hypersensitivity. Is there a more comfortable way to keep clean or will I just have to deal with it and wait for the hypersensitivity to calm down?

Also there is a lot of swelling around the stitches, is there a way I can speed up how quick the swelling heals?

You can try to bath your willy on a bowl of boiled water and half teaspoon of table salt twice a day 5-10 min. Wait until the temperature are cooled down 37-40 °C.

At a shower you can let water flow slowly along your shaft skin. There is no need for shower soap, now.

Avoid sitting in a bath until the wound has sealed to avoid contamination/infection from bacteria elsewhere on body. Keep your unit propped upwards as much as possible to let gravity drain any swelling caused by fluid build up.

Do you know long does it take for the wound to seal or is it different for everyone?

In general it takes 24-48 hours sutures to seal and always if there is bleeding there is open wound.
