Skin still covering glans six weeks after circumcision?

[Blaxr]

I'm at the six week marker after circumcision. I have behaved and followed all of the instructions to make sure this heals well!

I don't have any issue with tightness anymore, but I do have a small amount of skin that folds over the rim of the glans. This happens a lot.

This is uncomfortable because it folds the scar line, and means that my glans is not getting used to being fully exposed, it"s also uncomfortable when working as it pops in and out, and I have a manual job.

I've been back to the surgeons and they reassure me that this will tighten up and the glans will remain uncovered all the time. I'm not so sure.

It is worrying me because its so uncomfortable having the glans continually pop in and out. I also hate how it looks, and I'm just praying it sorts itself out so I don't have to have a revision.

I'm not sure I believe the surgeons as the swelling is not too bad now, and I think that not enough skin was removed.

Have anyone else had this issue, and it has resolved like they say it will?

By week 6 swelling should have subsided which if did not could cause skin to roll over the glans. Some say it can take up to 6 months for swelling to settle. You may need to give it some extra time. Good luck.

Yeah, the swelling has gone down completely. My skin heals fast actually, and I think it's just an incomplete circumcision to be honest.

I've booked a second opinion, but I know my body and this isn't right. I'm pretty gutted because I'm only just out of pain and settled, and it looks like I'll have to go through it all again.

It's a bummer, but I want it right, its been such an ordeal yo gey done for it not to be right.

hi mate, what happened with this?

Hope it’s sorted now. I’m on the 11 day mark and experiencing very similar to you.

As you got rid of the tightness I am assuming that you are no longer in any pain. I hope that you fully appreciate that benefit.
