Im 4 days away from my 6week marker since my circumcised. Theres a few stiches left. Im afraid of stiches tunnels being left, will this go away. My main two issues is that, 1. Bubbles/lumps have been is left due to the stitches

2. The frenulum is similar quite large like the lumps in the pic basically looks like a turkey neck

Will this two issues resolve itself over time and how long did it take for this to disappear for you.

The stitches go to your doctor and have him/her remove it. I too had stitches at 6 weeks. I went and he removed it, wish I went sooner. The frenulum swelling will be there for a long time. I’m 2 months and still swollen. I’ve been told it takes longest to heal

Why did u wish it was sooner, did it cause some kind of complication. And what about the buble/ lumps caused by the stiches

The lumps are the reason I said I wish I went sooner

I can’t say for sure, I’m in the same boat. I keep hearing bio oil helps, I’ve been applying coconut oil cus that’s what I only have at the moment. Will definitely buy bio oil and try jt

Last thing i want to ask from you, so its been 2 months for you since u got circumcised, has things gotten smoother and smaller or no difference? Also where the incision was made, its hard would that soften over time?

What do you mean smaller and smoother? Like the frenulum area? The stitches part is a bit bumpy yes

There is no need to buy another bottle. Remember to apply and rub it onto scar line twice a day. Scar will mature two years at least.

You can remove the stitches on 2nd week.The swelling and lumps starts going down significantly after removing stitches.

You can use Surfaz SN cream over the swollen area 2 times daily and take nsaids bd for 1 week for swelling.

There is no need to use antibiotic ointment, if there is no infection. Antibiotics need normally prescription here in Europe. They are not available over-the-counter like in India.

Hopefully they used dissolvable sutures. Id massage the affected areas vigorously, to speed up the breakdown of the sutures.
