Hi Guys,it’s been 7 weeks now since my op.

It’s all healed, however the scar where the stitches were is quite tight, difficult to pull over the head, it’s like an elastic band. Is this normal? Does it get less tight over time?

Thanks.

Ehm, not entirely sure what you are saying. When circumcised there is nothing you should be pulling over your head? Your penis glans is exposed and not going to get covered so you shouldn't be pulling anything over your head.

Can you be a little more specific?

The skin where the scar tissue is very tight & If I leave the head exposed as in the photo, the lose skin above the tight scare tissue tends to just bloat up, because of how tight the scar tissue is.

So I’ve been relieving the swelling by pulling some of the skin over the head. If that Kinda makes sense.

Hmm, I mean swelling could make it feel tight but otherwise it shouldn't. Probably the best thing to do is to visit the doctor that performed the operation and inform him/her of the issue.

It will go away with time. You shouldnt be trying to cover your penis's head because you are circumsized

Is there a way to remove oedema?
