Circumcism, 12 days ago. Still getting bleeding from under the skin which I’m unable to see.

So basically as title says. I’m bleeding from just under the skin, which I don’t feel comfortable pulling back. I’m starting to see the stitches on the outside coming further out. I’m hoping this is just the cause of that happening.

I’m relatively pain free from where the blood is coming from and the swelling isn’t any more than what it was several days after the operation. If anything it’s better

After washing it can go several hours without bleeding then to a little bit of blood, I’m just wondering if this has happened with anyone else and any advice.

I’ve been in contact with the doctor twice for advice on the circumcism and the bleeding. He said it could be the body healing as the colour is slightly off and has a slight smell. The doctor also suggested to take antibiotics which I started 2 days ago, this is my third day on them

how is this now? i had the same and still on anti biotics, i find that during the night i will get an erection that will pull and wake me up and i think that is causing the bleeding in my case, but i was getting some discharge with blood. but the swelling and is going down slowly.

it’s gotten much better since I wrote this. The orange coloured discharge I was getting did stop and the bleeding also.

However the wound still hasn’t fully healed up. It’s getting there, majority of the stitches have now come out. Also the other day where I was getting the discharge I must of caught it at night and reopened the wound. Luckily it hasn’t really bled or discharged anything. But it did open up.
