Is it normal to have a yellow like substance coming from the incision line of my circumcision and under my stitches?

[Anonymous60]

I've been circumcised and it's been 4 days since then, I've noticed there is this yellow like substance (pus? I don't really know what to call it) where the Frenulum is and on or around my stitches, i was wondering if that was a normal part of the healing process or if it's some sort of infection i need to get checked.

There is no pain, no odor, no nothing just discomfort, I've been using the ointment I've been given and have been trying to be careful with taking showers so I'm a little worried something might be wrong.

There's also been these white skin like things appearing to cover the incision line and a little has been forming on the swelled side of my penis was also kinda worried about that, i don't know whether not to leave that alone or try and take it off.

I go back for a checkup on the 17th of may but i just want to make sure everything's fine before i make a call to go early and get it checked.

Sounds quite normal to me. Hope you get on well at the review.

I have it similar I think... is it like a yellow like scab/substance above the incision line?

[Anonymous60 in reply to James199]

Yes, it's like this yellow liquid that forms a little bit above where the incision line is, i don't think im at the stage where i have scabbing since it's been 6 days now, i don't know if that's just the body trying to fill in the skin that's there or if I'm doing something wrong with cleaning the wound.

Like i said in my post there's no foul odor or anything it's just kinda there even after taking a shower and i dry it off and apply the ointment i got.

I am circumcised on 29th April. I am also facing the similar situation currently you are in.I think it's normal healing process as I read stories from others.

Do we need to clean this yellowish scab everytime we apply the ointment? Or if we remove, does it cause slow healing process?

You should be all good I have the same, I contacted my gp about it and he said it’s all good

Totally normal and may take over a few weeks post surgery to diminish. I spoke to my doctor about this and it totally normal, actually a sign of healing and closure ( according to my doctor)
