Keloid scar

I had a circumcision 50 days ago.. And I have these bumps. Are those bumps a keloid scar?

I have spoken with my doc about it and he told me that's a reaction from the sutures and it will fade away.. But I'm not so sure and this is making me really stressed out.

What do you think guys, will it fade away?

Hi nRale.

Don't get stressed; I would say that your doctor is absolutely right, and the bumps are from the sutures and will disappear in their own good time.

Your surgeon has done a very neat job, if I may say so. Your penis is looking good, so please be reassured.

All good wishes,

SetteeSofa :) :) :)

Hi,

Thank you for replying.

So, this is not a keloid in your opinion?

In my opinion, no, but I'm not medical man, so maybe you ought to consult your GP/urologist for professional examination and reassurance. It does always pay to consult a healthcare professional if you have any worries or concerns.

I hope you find that all is well with you.

Best wishes as always,

SetteeSofa :) :) :)

All looks well buddy. I have exactly the same and they disappear slowly as your guy gets back to normal. They're suture lines and I am on day 21, all my stitches out and I have those tiny bumps but they're fading by day. Your penis is in perfect health and like SetteeSofa, I want to say Kudos to your surgeon for the clean stitch.

Oh, thank you, I appreciate your kind words. So, these bumps will resolve/shrink with time?

Yes. The bumps will shrink and disappear at some point. Anywhere between 6 months to 2 years.

Hi Man yeah they are from the stitches and the swelling it should gradually go down in time in a few months you won't know yourself. I'd use a little Bio-Oil and massage it in I found it helped me over time.
