Hey guys, I just recently got a circumcision and was just wondering if there was anyone that would help me through my healing/ provide information to help me through the next few weeks/months.
I’m not very comfortable posting photos on here but if you are willing to help me out my Snapchat is the same username as it is on here!
Thank you heaps!

If you are healing alright and have no worries you don't actually need any advise . The only advise maybe that can be said repeatedly is to keep the area dry and clean . Touch only with clean hands. If you have problems with night time painful erections , sleep on your side and bring your legs up towards your chest . Or else you can put a damp cold cloth on yourself if you feel like getting an erection . Also don't pluck at your stitches . Definitely don't use any fragrant or chemical moisturisers or soaps like dettol on the glans. Use only mild soaps.
I guess this is about what I can get off the top of my head for now. All the best !
Thanks heaps mate, it does help a lot!!! I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything and have tried reading past posts just to get all the advice I can!!
But thanks again, if I have any question in the coming days I’ll definitely get in contact! Thanks again
I got circumcised 6 weeks ago. I am a 39 year old indian guy still healing. My condition was phimosis (I've had it for years but never addressed it). I have type 2 diabetes and and blood thinner and blood pressure meds, 5' 11", and currently 33 pounds overweight. From the nature of my health, my healing process will be slower than someone without my conditions.
Don't panic about swelling of the skin. Only on day 10 did it start going down for me. All of my stitches fell out by week 4. Some were stubborn and were holding on to dead skin. They fell off when they brushed against bandages. The frenulum for me will go down in swelling over month I am guessing. Sleep naked, let it breathe. If you have scabs, do not pull them out. They will naturally fall off.
I am now trying to walk around a bit very slowly with no padding and regular underwear to help train myself to get use to underwear rubbing against the penis. For me, progress is slow, but happening.
For me, the sensitivity of the glans is more of an issue than the stitches healing. I won't be masturbating or having sex for at least 8 weeks so I can ensure all of the skin has healed internally.
