14 days after operation

[Bkinney96]

Hi guys I’m 21 and got cut 14 days ago now, everything seems to be healing fine, some parts are red but this is most probably because of underwear rubbing against the head. My only worry is I was having a little feel around yesterday and was looking at the area where the cut was made and I found a hard lump underneath the skin of my shaft it is literally under where the stitches are and I am starting to worry as it’s really sore to touch and is really hard. Any suggestions on what it is or what to do?

It could be a knot in a stitch under the skin. I had one same on underside. It bloody killed if I touched it. My dissolvable stitchestitches weren't budging by day 14 so I went to my GP surgery and nurse removed them. The lump vanished then as it was a stitch as expected. Healing accelerated rapidly after stitches had gone. Have a look through my posts. I'm 6 months post op now and really pleased.

Yeah gonna wait until Monday that’ll will bring me to day 16 and hopefully have them removed. How’s the end result after 6 months?

Fantastic. Click on my name and look at photo I posted other day. I'm well pleased!

I would suggest that it’s just swelling that will subside.

Possibly I didn’t think of this, I had hardly any swelling at all to be honest but maybe this is the part I missed. Thanks
