Good day..

it's been 2 and a half weeks after my circumcision.. my wound is nice and dry and seems to heal very nicely ,still have a few stitches in.. I have one spot that started to bleed a little bit after I soaked it in salt water..should I only clean the wound twice per day?? would you maybe recommend any ointment I could use to speed up the recovery?

Well, how many times you clean the wound per day, if you wonder if twice is enough? ;)

Once a day is enough on third week, because every time you wet the wound the temperature on wound (bed) falls below 33 °C and it slows down the healing process.

You can apply petroleum jelly/medical honey ointment on to incision site and cover the wound until it is healed and there is no discharge anymore.

Thank you so much, so from tomorrow onwards I'll be cleaning once per day👌

I stopped using saltwater because the same thing happened to me. I ended up having a decent bleed at my frenelum area. I went back to cleaning once a day with non scented anti-bacterial soap in the shower and so far it's been good.
