4 Weeks After Operation Tight Scar

[Volliteur]

Hi I about to finish my 4th week after my circumcision and I am worried about my penis and particularly erect version of it.

Scar itself is healing and there is no pain anymore but when my penis is erect there’s literally a tight ring around it on the scar line and it is a bit painful and the skib between the circumcision line and the head of the penis still swollen.

The circumcision line is also not soft it’s a bit hard. Is this normal, this is stressing me out.

Following as I'm three weeks and have exactly same. I have I'd say a partial circumcision and when I pull foreskin back skin bulges out between scar and head and is pink in colour L.. Also scar quite hard too although all stitches not fallen out yet

I remember still having swelling at 4 weeks and although all the stitches were out, there was tightness on the scar line which was uncomfortable when erect. It'll take a bit longer for everything to heal up properly and everyone's healing time is different.

So for you things improved and the scar become les tight over time ? How long did it take for things to improve for you ?

[Man7Cut in reply to Volliteur]

Took about 8 weeks maybe but the coconut oil definitely helped.

[Volliteur in reply to Man7Cut]

Cool, when is it a good time to use coconut oil, I don’t want to use it prematurely

[Man7Cut in reply to Volliteur]

When you're sure the wound has closed it's ok to use it

I’m on my week 5 now and have exact same experience.

On check up visit with doctor on week 4 he said that I still have swelling which should go down and skin will become more flexible.

I booked an appointment with the doctor as well but being this forum eased my anxiety a bit because having a tight line when erect is very worrying and I got the feeling that things it will always be the same 🤣

[Garik in reply to Volliteur]

Please keep us posted on what your doctor says. We all are going through the same shit ! 🥲

I saw the doctor today and he says everything looks good, it will get better over time. I also started using vaseline because of this forum since yesterday. I am less anxious now, just playing the patience game at the moment.

Hi man. Perfectly normal. I had a tight fat ring that felt like it was constricting when I got an erection. It went away after a few weeks. Don't worry

Give it time. Did they recommend a salve for it? It'll get better.
