post circumcision

[Geordie1992]

hi, I was circumcised back in January for medical reasons on the nhs and it’s been around 4 months now and I have bumps around the scar line which I’m concerned won’t go away. Does anyone know if a revision is necessary to remove them, or if the bumps even qualify for revision surgery?

Any information would be appreciated

I’m concerned the bumps are keloids

I have what you describe, still there after 3 months. I'd like to know what people would recommend. Maybe some oil or moisturisers, but don't know what works best.

Few things you can try. Bio oil is good for getting rid of scar tissue but it is perfumed. Pure coconut oil is also good or E45 cream to massage into the skin. My consultant recommended E45 but I did use the others sometimes

[Geordie1992 in reply to Hidden]

Did e45 get rid or minimise the bumps and what sort of timeframe?

[Hidden in reply to Geordie1992]

I started using it as soon as the stitches fell out and massaged it well in as my consultant recommended, so I wasn't really left with any bumps. Maybe I was just lucky.

I was cut aged 5 in the 80s and have been stuck with bumps ever since
