[honphi]

Am in 3rd week post my Surgical circumcision and everything looks good. I have no pain, I had no infection, and all stitches have dried up except for one part that has a tiny piece of flesh that is not drying up. it does look dry in the day but after take a shower it looks red with bit of bleeding with no pain. Anyone who has experienced this and is this normal?

It took up to the end of week 6 for the last wee part of flesh to heal up for me. The rest had all healed perfectly by week 3. The doctor said it was normal for me. But I didn't really have any blood showing, just a yellowish discharge. Maybe you should ask you Doctor, just to give you peace of mind

When did you stop wearing you dressing?

[NIMan38 in reply to Thbitg]

I stopped after day 4 as the surgeon told me to.

[Thbitg in reply to NIMan38]

Oh wow fair enough, I got told to stop after 2 weeks and I thought that was soon. How long did it take you for sensitivity to get back to normal level?

[NIMan38 in reply to Thbitg]

The sensitivity started to ease around week 4. There are times when it still catches me and i have to adjust my underwear. Seemless trunks is what I find easiest to wear during the day, and loose boxers at night.

You got any links or specific recommendations for pants?

I bought a couple pairs of Odd Balls:amazon.co.uk/OddBalls-Fat-M...

And also trunks from Marks and Spencers.

I didn't get any dressing or advice to put any on. I am now putting dressing on as I got an infection, not fun. (day 13)

Actually now it doesn't really bleed but just a clear discharge like water.

It probably is lymph fluid. Just make sure that dried discharge won't stuck to a gauze or clothes and rip off then. I would cover it with a non adherent gauze or plaster.
