Is this normal healing after 6 weeks from circumcision?

So I’m currently 6 weeks-ish into the healing process and it is fine but whenever I get an erection, there’s blood that comes from the incision area where the foreskin has been cut. Idk if this is normal but I believe I no longer have a frenulum and if I pull the skin back from the bottom in the picture, I can see flesh and blood. Will the skin re-attach itself to the shaft or am I suppose to pull the skin even more? I want to know what will happen to the skin around the corona area

I would personally say go back to the doctor a.s.a.p man

Yes, this is very normal and very usual to still get oozing blood as the shaft heals still at this point and the scar begins to cure itself_"completely".!!!

Ok thank you, I want to know what will happen to the skin. Will it get re-attach to the shaft or what will happen? Should I just leave it alone so it can heal properly? Also how long does it normally take to completely heal?

in reply toAnonymous7099

Yes, skin re-attaches as it heals to the shaft and part of the bleeding is just part of the re-attachment processes.!!!

Answer to 2nd question:

Full healing takes_"8-9wks".!!!

Wounds will eventually heal as long as they do not become infected or you keep pulling the edges apart. You really need to get checked out by your surgeon or another doctor.

Difficult but you really need to leave it alone and stop pulling the edges apart to give it chance to heal up! The sooner it does the sooner you can really get going again. Nice cut BTW

ok I will stop pulling the edges. It’s just that whenever an erection comes, it feels really tight like the skin is about to get pulled back so I thought that I have to pull it back even more to expose the whole penis.

Hi Mate, it's your dick and you know it best! All I'd say is if you had a cut on your hand and kept pulling the edges apart it would never heal properly? You have my sympathy though, had a high and tight cut and every hardon felt like it was pulling apart.

Thanks for the advice man! Almost a month later and I’m experiencing some bleeding whenever I get an erection, not sure if that’s normal but I’m just gonna wait it out. I think when I masturbated without lube, it caused the skin to pull a bit back causing some flesh to be shown but hopefully it heals fine.
