4 months post-circ: soreness around scar-line

I’m nearly four months post-circ. Healing relatively well but I experience a lot of soreness at the top of the shaft, below head, around the scar line.

I’ve had issues with the scar feeling tight - I’ve been using bio oil twice a day and steroid cream once a day on it. There is some progress.

I still continue to feel sore when I masturbate. As you can see from the picture, I experience a lot of redness, and you can even see some chapped skin here.

Input appreciated.

During your recovery period after how long you started applying bio-oil? Once stitches are totally off and wound healed? I am on day 15 and just wondering. Thanks

I only started applying bio oil at about the 6/8 week mark.

Have you spoken to your doctor about the redness? I have the same issue

Yes at about the 6 point and he suggested it was still normal and gave me steroid cream. But I’m at 16 weeks now, and I’m not able to see doctor in current climate.

You will experience a few problems because you was with a foreskin now things has changed and now it’s going to take a while for your penis to feel normal from the change. See when baby’s get circumcised they start getting use to the pain, tolerance, diapers, underwear etc.. and as a baby you don’t feel that or know about it. Well now your an adult your going to feel all what you missed as a baby.

It does look sore. No idea why that would be though. Have you tried stopping masturbation for a week or more?

Yes but it will be the same once I start again.

How are things now mister? I had my circumcision 3 years ago and it is still sore where the stitches were. I have started using vitamin e cream to see if it can help the scaring.

Hey McGuc

I have the same issue of shaft skin being tight at the scar line. I had my zsr circumcision 2.5 weeks back..really worried how it will work because if is still tight it will defeat the purpose of having circumcision.

Has your sex life improved post op?

Looking fwd to your response?
