Scar Tissue After ZSR Staple Circumcision

Hi. Hoping for some advice. My mid twenties son had the ZSR circumcision over 6 months ago. He had suffered with tight foreskin, and was advised this would fix the problem. Unfortunately the procedure went slightly wrong and the Dr had to remove a small portion of the skin with a scalpel. Long story short, it hasn’t been right since and now has lumpy scar tissue. Has tried cream to no avail. Same Dr now suggesting an op to remove scar tissue. My son strongly considering this. Has anyone else had this remedial work? I feel so bad for my son as he of course wishes he’d never had the procedure in the first place.

He also feels his penis is shorter and the hair comes down too low. I have no idea I’m just a caring Mother. We’ve said to give it time but it’s been 6 months..

Any advise would be most welcome. Thank you.

Mom needs to let go of son and let him, an adult male, deal with the situation and ask the community questions if he chooses.

I could have pretended to be a male and got an answer ... but am being honest. I may direct him here and of course he’s doing his own research. Others here may have a helpful reply but thanks for your input...
