Been a month of my circumcision... first doc said infection second 75% of skin was attached to glans so doc has to cut those now glans is shapless coz of big cuts and its not healing..throwing liquid from glans trurning into thick layer and the same story repeating everyday. Doc said give it time
Can anyone help?
If infected you should be on anti-biotics I would have thought. Also a dressing should be used to keep everything in place and allow the wound to heal.
Good luck
Thank you.
Doc said no dressings and no meds
That is odd, if he said you had an infection, you need antibiotics to get rid of the infection. Are you certain it was that? The dressing for the penis is usually for the first 2 days so it doesn't bleed. After that you take it off and if you needed put new dressing on with vaseline.
What country are you from if I may ask? Was the circumcision performed at a hospital?
I m indian 26 but living in tanzania.
Yes performed in hospital with 4 injection on my penis took 30 mins then doc said go home and 2 visits per day after that.
Well the description you give is a bit scary ... shapeless glans coz of cuts? When adhesions are formed they don't cut the penis glans, but rather the skins adhesions themselves. Having a crust on your penis glans might be caused by bruising of the head and it trying to form a scab. A scab is the thing that your body makes when you cut yourself or damage your skin and your blood thickens and creates this solid mass that prevents things from getting into the wound. A scab on a penis looks quite different to a scab on other parts of the body ... its like a white/yellowish slimy layer that when dried, resembles more of a scab but it can break and bleed. Better to keep it moist with a gauze with vaseline and allow it to heal like that instead of letting it get solid and it constantly breaking when your glans gets enlarged, causing pain and bleeding from the scab.
You got it all...
This is what happening to me everyday... rust get dry irection break it and more fluid comes out from the breakages. But doc said dont put gauze.
Shall i go ahead and try what you said. Gauze and vesaline? And if i do for how long should i keep it on? There is no bleeding at all
Its only that side of the glans from which the skin was removed makes me worried all the time.
Would i be able to get full recovery and a shapy glans?
Well the gauze with vaseline on it keeps the scab moist so it doesn't dry out, solidify and break, causing pain and making you bleed. Many studies have shown that keeping the scab clean and moist accelerates healing. It is what I did and mine disappeared in about a week. You have to keep it clean however every time I peed or changed the gauze I cleaned it under a stream of camomile tea (helps healing). Remember, keeping it moist doesn't mean wet ... so don't take baths (showers only and not too long).
Having said that, I have not seen your penis nor am I a doctor, if you have visited your doctor, he saw your issue and told you to do or not do specific things I would listen to him. Alternatively, you can get a second opinion from another doctor. All I can say is what I did.
You are really helpful. Thank you so much
Let me go see another doc first and see what he has to say.
I ll keep you posted on this
Went to another doc and he blood tested me for infection and suger but it was normal and no infection at all.
He gave me diclokant50 tabs for 10 days and said let it settle itself and he added that its been a month now so no need to go back to bandages
I would suggest taking flucloxacillin 500mg as it’s an anti biotic it’s really good for healing skin sores and infections I had two courses I’m 7 weeks in now and I’m healed up
