excessive scabbing on around the incision line

I have just been circumcised about 4 days ago for medical reasons and i have woken up with dried blood all down the right side of the shaft of my penis, however it is no longer bleeding and a large scab is forming around the stitches. Is this normal or should i seek medical attention

it’s normal and will start coming off when you shower bro. Don’t peel it though. Just use your washcloth when you shower to kinda soak it off. 🤙🏾

If it's only been four days, then it sounds fairly normal, but you could ask your GP or a surgeon if you're worried.
