Gash and some stiches left 5 weeks after circumcision

Hi Guys,

5 weeks today since my circumcision. I've got one complete stitch still hanging on, and can see a few tiny stiches in other parts that I'm presuming are on their way to being fully dissolved. I was told the stiches would go in 1-2 weeks which obviously hasn't happened. The day after I had my op I had to go to A&E due to heavy bleeding and get it glued back together. I wonder if that's why it's taking a bit longer for it all to dissolve. I wondered if anyone has/had anything similar happen?

I also have a gash on the side. It's not bleeding or oozing at this point. Nevertheless it's still not healed and I imagine will take several weeks more till its fully healed which is annoying. I kinda assumed the whole 6 weeks and then you can go back to sexual activity would apply to me. Again, anyone had something similar?

Thank you in advance!
