hey guys im 6 days in and have had my penis bandaged all the time except for showering ( and a salt water soak twice a day) but i have recently found a slight odour whenever i take the bandage off. theres a couple yellow spots on the bandage but i beleive its just the normal ooze. let me know if i should be worried

Yellowish clear discharge is quite normal on healing period. Process is a bit different if you had clamp on your penis first 5-7 days than traditional scalpel and sutures (or glue) method.

Yeah yellowish clear dischage is normal and may just be lymph. It might still be there for a week or so , so don't get worried . Also look out for thick white / yellow curdy discharge which may indicate infection . Cheers !

cheers mate

[jackshealth in reply to Velcro93]

sorry thought id quickly ask though, the bandage smells quite strong when i take it off. it doesnt look infected but smells quite off

[Velcro93 in reply to jackshealth]

Yup smell wise it will definitely be a little off at least for 1-2 weeks . Don't worry about it and just keep the area clean and dry whenever possible. Also look out for any abnormal discharge of sorts !
