Will torn skin after circumcision heal?
human
Had a circumcision 4 weeks ago. Had two problems the hardened swelling covers the gland and only 1/5 of the gland can be seen. the hardened swelling looks like a band circling the tip of the gland. The second problem is the skin beneath has torn in a circle at the part of the stitches. I have checked but seems no one is having this problem in the net. As a result the skin cannot be retracted due to the tear, forcing the skin down aggravates the torn inner skin. Will it heal?

HelloThanks for writing to HCMYou shouldn't disturb the operated site in any way by forceful retraction.In circumcision,skin is stiched over coronal sulcus and it can't be retracted back.You shouldn't force it.If there is any gap at stich site,you should contact your surgeon.You may need antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs for few week and dressing.Don't worry.You will be alright.Glans is normally naked after operation. It is normal.Hope i have answered your query.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan
