Post-circumcision frenulum open

Hi, I was circumcised 10 days ago, 2 days ago a stitch broke on the right side of my frenulum causing the edges of the inner and outer foreskin to pull apart (underside only). It’s left the underside of my frenulum area looking pretty open. I think since then it looks like a similar thing might’ve happened on the left side so the top layer of skin no longer sits in the right place and there is a triangular-shaped, open wound, although the rest along the top seems to be healing fine. Has anyone experienced something similar and did it heal ok for you?

Yep. You are not alone. It can happen. I haven't seen any statistics, but I think the prevalence of wound dehiscence on adult male circumcision can a bit higher than on normal surgical operation 0.25%-3%.

Thanks for the advice and references. It’s actually come a long way over the course of today. Been trying to minimise activity and just let it do it’s thing.
