Am in 3rd week post my Surgical circumcision and everything looks good. I have no pain, I had no infection, and all stitches have dried up except for one part that has a tiny piece of flesh that is not drying up. it does look dry in the day but after take a shower it looks red with bit of bleeding with no pain. Anyone who has experienced this and is this normal?

It took up to the end of week 6 for the last wee part of flesh to heal up for me. The rest had all healed perfectly by week 3. The doctor said it was normal for me. But I didn't really have any blood showing, just a yellowish discharge. Maybe you should ask you Doctor, just to give you peace of mind

I stopped after day 4 as the surgeon told me to.

Oh wow fair enough, I got told to stop after 2 weeks and I thought that was soon. How long did it take you for sensitivity to get back to normal level?

The sensitivity started to ease around week 4. There are times when it still catches me and i have to adjust my underwear. Seemless trunks is what I find easiest to wear during the day, and loose boxers at night.

And also trunks from Marks and Spencers.

I didn't get any dressing or advice to put any on. I am now putting dressing on as I got an infection, not fun. (day 13)

Actually now it doesn't really bleed but just a clear discharge like water.

It probably is lymph fluid. Just make sure that dried discharge won't stuck to a gauze or clothes and rip off then. I would cover it with a non adherent gauze or plaster.

Not what you're looking for?
