Circumcision scab

Hey, Its been a week and my penis is feeling really well, the swelling is almost gone or better yet gone entirely, I have no trouble with erections and peeing, been having a good night sleep aswell (thanks for the advices to my previous post), but I'm still wondering if the scab that formed should be starting to shrink, its starting to turn yellow but not shrinking yet, I clean it twice everyday and apply ointment to it, any answers to when the scab should go away?

It will take time mate . Just hold in there , don't try to pick at the scab because it body's normal physiological process to heal you. Over the next few days it might drop or drip off while you bath . Maintain good hygiene while you are touching the area esp your hands and make sure you are completely dry after . Bathing with warm water also helps in naturally accelerating the scab from dropping off but this is when the scab persists for even longer. Since you are just one week post op , best is to just wait in my opinion . All the best!

Hey I’m just curious how ur healing is now because I also had a very small scab that turned yellow and I’m just curious if u had an infection or something because I’m scared I have one. There is no pus or odor but I’m just worried of the yellowness

No it's absolutely normal to have some yellow deposits down there, relax
