Circumcision

[Mark_35]

Hi guys, I’ve just had a Circumcision looking some adviceI I have only about 20/30% of the head shown the rest is just think swollen skin I thought all skin would be removed and head would be completely exposed I can’t see my stitches either is this normal? Ps… I’m a grower not a shower

[Sneakyy]

you’re totally fine dude it was the same for me the swell will go away eventually 😁

[Mark_35 in reply to Sneakyy]

happy days mate I’m glad haha thanks for the reply

[Sneakyy in reply to Mark_35]

no worries mate 👌

It was the same for me, I could not even see the stitches.

[Mark_35 in reply to Russell_088]

yes mate I’m the same can’t see them either 🤦‍♂️ glad though everyone seems to be the same

[Russell_088 in reply to Mark_35]

I had read people saying that after a month they were fully healed. I am almost 3 months after op and still swollen in some areas and sore. It's frustrating but it's slowly getting better.

[Mark_35 in reply to Russell_088]

that’s good it’s getting better glad everyone is in the same position makes me feel better

[Russell_088 in reply to Mark_35]

Which "style" did you get?

[Mark_35 in reply to Russell_088]

don’t even know mate 🤷‍♂️ they just said the head would be fully exposed that’s why I was worrying about the only 20/30% only shown at the minute can’t see stitches etc they told me after 72 hours I can bath which is tomorrow where you able to pull it back abit in the bath or would you recommend not?

[Russell_088 in reply to Mark_35]

I see... for me it was similar in the sense that I let the doctor decide what was best for me. I didn't use any force when washing, especially the first weeks.

[Mark_35 in reply to Russell_088]

good man thanks for that, aye I just let the surgeon crack on with it mate

[Russell_088 in reply to Mark_35]

[Russell_088 in reply to Mark_35]

Italy

[Mark_35 in reply to Russell_088]

that’s class mate! Never been would love to go

[Irishlad83]

I am also in the same boat! However I have like a burning feeling under the skin just at the bottom of the head, not sure what it is!

[Mark_35 in reply to Irishlad83]

Not sure what that is mate I never had any pain or burning I’m 4 weeks coming on Thursday but like you I would say 20% of my head is still covered with skin apparently it can take month for that to heal properly and come back!
