Circumcision recovery - is this ok?

[jinxjammers]

Been around 5 weeks now since the big snip!

First two weeks were proper grim.. intense discomfort and ended up with a nasty infection on the underside with lots of pus and blood. However, antibiotics and salt water did help clear that up massively.

I know that the aesthetic is not the main point of aesthetic, but do you think this looks on track for 5 weeks of healing?

Slightly concerned that not all stitches have come out yet.

Looks like a very good job. You don’t need the stitches any more. It. Might be an idea to make an appointment with the nurse to have them removed.

[jinxjammers in reply to Hidden]

Ok - is it bad to leave them? Is it because they might become infected?

[Hidden in reply to jinxjammers]

No it’s mainly because they could leave a little scarring from an aesthetic point of view.

Thank you. Weirdly both of the last stitches actually fell out yesterday! So I'm finally stitch-free

[Hidden in reply to jinxjammers]

Excellent! You can start thinking about taking your new cabriolet for a test drive!

It's lovely indeed. I wish your partner will get maximum pleasure

I don’t think you should be worried with the stitches they will dissolve soon. This Thursday will be 6 weeks I still 3 stitches

[jinxjammers in reply to johnzagp1]

Same! Thursday will be exactly 6 weeks for me too.

Okay thank you. Can I ask - what is the issue with leaving them, will they become infected? Right now they're sort of scabbed over.

They can create stitch tunnels

[jinxjammers in reply to Bgfgg]

Ah I see. Weirdly they all fell out yesterday so i'm finally without stitches. !
