Hello, everyone.I was circumcised on 4th Jan, healing well, the ring fell off. Now its just the swelling between the incision and the glans.
I m not much worried about the swelling as i know it will fade away with time, but i have a hard lump in the swelling. Which hurts when i put pressure on it. Its not on the incision line... but just above the incision line. I m really worried about this.
Also, i was thinking to dip me penis in warm salt water , for the swelling. Can someone suggest if its a good idea, and does it help.

Hey I had mine done on Jan 10, still a decent amount of swelling and red areas around the incision line... I was told not to go for a bath for Atleast 2 weeks after surgery I think.... And I also have a new slightly painful bump near the bottom the the shaft which was not there prior to the surgery but hopefully it subsides as time goes on as well... Hope this helps.
Hello, so usually people are allowed to shower after 2-3 days of the surgery, it is really important to keep the area clean. I started taking shower after 2 days... and my doctor suggested to clean it with warm water..
Yea I've been going for showers what I meant is I was told not to sit in a bathtub or go swimming and stuff like that for Atleast 2 weeks after the surgery.
It's been going ok, you actually got your surgery 6 days before me so I would assume you have healed more than I have... I still have swelling and stitches on, and my glans is still extremely sensitive I really can't walk around alot and don't wear pants inside the house and have a hard time sleeping because of the sensitivity. How about you?
