Circumcision sutures broke after 5days

Hi, so some of my sutures came off today. There is no bleeding and all looks pretty well, it is stinging a bit but other than that there seems nothing severe. There are small bumps in between the suture sites so I believe the tissue has already sealed. Is that possible after 5 days?

.

Is there anything I can do myself? Apply liquid plaster or something like that?

Under what circumstances should I contact my surgeon

Contact your surgeon if you suspect you have an infection, otherwise just keep it clean

Well, adult circumcision wound healing takes more than 5 days. I doubt about sealed tissue at this moment. If there is no bleeding anymore it does not mean healed, unfortunately.

I suggest you to support the incision line for example with strips of surgical tape like 'Micropore' and bandage. Stretching is the worst you can do with it now. Think about nocturnal erections without supportive suture.

Yeah my thought exactly. The issue was that the surgeon put some steristrips on and the loosened and the basically ripped the stitches. I removed some of them the others are still in place.

I did consider applying new ones but I guess they will fall off again 🤷🏼‍♂️
