Slough removal on circumcision incision

[Kpt95]

hi guys, I’m nearly 5 weeks post op. My stitches popped under my frenulum leaving me with quite a large area of exposure. I’ve been to the hospital & spoke to senior doctors & a surgeon who said it’s too far into the healing stage to be re stitched but advised to keep the area moist to break down the slough that’s currently embedded. My question is has anyone had this experience before & what did they use to help break it down? I’ve heard medihoney is good has anyone used this before? Thank you!

Hey man, hope you're okay. What did the docs recommend you use?

you need to keep the area clean and infection free. The wound will heal by secondary intention - from the inside outwards. It is quite common and nothing to worry about. teachmesurgery.com/skills/w...
