7 months after circumcision, still swollen

Hello,

I had surgery more than 7 months ago and I am starting to despair because my scar does not deflate and is not at all aesthetic.

So I massage once a day with bio oil.

And I was also using a corticoid cream that my urologist advised me to use, seeing the little progress with it, I have recently started using Kelo cote gel.

What do you advise me to do? To continue with the cream or the Kelo cote gel or something else?

I don't know how to publish a picture here to show you

Have a nice day guys

You should follow the medical advice you have been given. Some guys on here have reported that they still have swelling at a year! Take care.

Your right, urologist have not idea how to treat a scar done by them. So we have to try with some creams especilized for scar treatment. I do not think bio oil, or whatever else helps to reduce a scar. So keocote can help since cointains silicona. Of course it will take time.

So I have to continue with kelo cote and stop the corticoid cream?

You don't have to do anything else than keep the scar line moisturized. Scar will deform at least 24 months post-op. I think the most dramatic changes on scar will happen on first six months post-op.

Thank you very much,

I'm going to continue with the silicone gel because the strips are complicated to place on my cic.

4 months for me, and also swollen. Did you have any improvement with corticoid cream?

I had no noticeable results with the corticoid cream.

11 months and still swollen, I'm desperate... all the urologists I've seen told me it was nothing and they didn't know what to do.

It's hard every day to see his dick like that. I'm going to try to burn the swelling with nitrogen, one person told me about it

in reply toAcariose

Nitrogen sounds a bit risky!

Bro, don't do anything that might potentially harm you like burning nitrogen etc. I'm also having swelling after 5 weeks even though the doctor has given me medicine and stretching etc. Let it heal and give it time and focus on other important matters, bring your attention away helps reducing stress. You will heal soon. Just let nature do its work.

Nitrogen / cryotherapy is used against hypertrophic scars, I will use a Q tip in order to be very careful.
