11 Days Post Circumcision - Stitches ripped out early.

I just recently had a circumcision done for phimosis and frenulum breve, and I'm afraid that my stitches ripped out too early and now the skin is separated from the glans of the penis and there appears to be lymph and discharge. No infection, no redness or swelling at the site, and no bleeding or pain. I'm very worried about how it appears, and I want to know the opinions others may have on it.

But here's a written description as well...

The stitches for the skin nearest the frenulum at the base of the glans is removed, and the skin is loose and not connected to the penis. Along the line where the foreskin was peeled back and stitches were added, there appears to be a hole that looks like it was placed for draining, but I cannot tell if it's enlarged or not.

I've been liberal in applying polysporin to the surgical site, but I'm afraid of abnormal healing and a disfigured penis. Can anyone provide any comments on the matter? I'm very worried and I have not seen any posts of people going through something similar to me. And with COVID-19 is really hard to even get in touch with my urologist.

All you can do is keep it clean and allow it to heal. Once healed you can discuss with your doctor.
