Thanks for the update, ctrox. It looks a lot better than I had imagined at this point. And it sounds like you're dealing with this in great style. I'm happy for you.
 
glad to hear you're doing fairly well. I was circumcised as an infant so I can't relate exactly but I've had 17 surgeries in my life. as the incision heals it's going to itch. Check with your doctor to see if it's ok but I found applying a little hydrocortisone creme helped reduce the itching on my incisions. The numbness you talked about tends to lessen with time. A couple of my incisions are actually a little hypersensitive. Your incision is very fresh so give it some time. You may want to put some "non stick" gauze pads in your underwear. As the wound is healing it will ooze a little and the non stick gauze will help prevent it from sticking and pulling. hope that helps. keep us posted.

Steven.
 
Well thank you! It doesn't look great at the moment though :( and it's so super itchy!! Haha
 
Congratulations on going ahead and doing what you decided to do. I think the result looks much better already than I was expecting at this early stage and from what you said, which is very reassuring. How was the actual process itself - you said it was painless, but was it uncomfortable or embarrassing or was it OK? Would you say it was better or worse than you expected?

I hope that it all heals quickly and you can get on with getting full use out of your "new" penis. Do keep us posted with your progress' and well done again.

The process was fine really. Suffering from anxiety I was quite anxious leading up to the surgery and for some reason I've still been quite anxious up to and including today. I'm not a shy person so I didn't really get embarrassed or anything. I was more just scared about the pain and yes it's painful and uncomfortable but it's a lot less than I expected thank goodness!

Steven's correct. The itching is normal with any surgical incision- the belief is that it is a side effect of the normal healing process. It does seem to get better after the stitches are taken out. You may also need to apply a non-lanolin moisturizer to the head since the skin there has not been exposed to air and it will get dry and flaky (and itchy) as the skin changes.

On your masturbation question... ask your surgeon when you go in to have your stitches removed (usually they about a week after the surgery) but most post-surgery instructions that I've seen say 4-6 weeks for any sexual activity that involves stretching the surgical incision.
 
I'm glad everything is well and that you got through it. You take care and have a great week.
 
Oh my god last night was the night that the erections finally happened. They are so painful :( I barely slept last night and now I'm scared I'm going to get another erection
 
Hey guys, does anyone know when about the stitches will dissolve? They're so annoying!
 
Glad to see you are making progress. Looks like it will look great once all the swelling etc and the stitches have gone. How do you feel about it?

I feel good about it however I'm worried that the head is still sensitive after 6 days and the what looks like bruising. Is that normal?!

Everything actually looks better than the typical post-circ @ 6 days.

The bruising is normal. It can take a couple of weeks for bruising to resolve. The blood is trapped within the skin and it will follow gravity, so don't be surprised if there's some residual bruising around the frenulum and don't be surprised if some bruising makes its way to your scrotum. There's an herb called arnica montana that can speed the process up but you have to start taking it immediately after the surgery for it to work.

The head is going to be sensitive for a while. Guys who are circumcised as infants grow up with brain that has adjusted to the sensation of having the head exposed. Adults who are having circs done are often told to keep the foreskin partially retracted before the surgery to begin the process of adjustment before the surgery. Because of your phimosis, this is the first time your head has been exposed to air and the first time that you will feel clothing brushing against it.

Once your stitches are out and the healing has progressed, the head will become less sensitive. Your brain will learn to tune out the over-sensitivity in time but it will take a while. When you're able to masturbate, you will find that the head is very sensitive even though your incision line is still a bit numb.

Everything looks good- the only recommendation is to try to keep the incision line and the frenulum more moist. Moisture helps speed the healing process and lessen the scarring around the incision line.You can apply petroleum jelly or antibiotic ointment to it to help keep it from drying out. There's also kits you can buy that are usually called "scar guard" or "scar away" that can be used.

How long do you think before the head will start to feel good as opposed to sore? And thank you for all your information, you're a lifesaver! How do you know so much?
 
Your latest pics continue to show remarkable progress and look a LOT better than I had anticipated. And, your positive attitude is notable.

When in the Army, an 18 y/o in my barracks had circumcision done. His looked nothing nearly as good as yours, even after a couple of weeks. He complained somewhat about the sensitivity for a bit, but once the healing completed (don't remember how long) he was totally happy with the results. And, a fine dick he wound up having too.
 
Thanks for the updates and pics. I think it looks really good for only six days. There are two types of stitches. Those that dissolve on their own and those that need to be removed. Since you asked about the dissolving ones I'm assuming thats what the doctor used. They should be gone around days twelve to fifteen. If your doctor used the removable type they will remove them on your follow up appointment. Usually around day ten to twelve. The wound looks very good. You're doing a good job of keeping it clean. The itching and pulling sensation will get better once the sutures are out. Have you tried wrapping the head with some soft cloth? Cut a strip of soft cloth and wrap around the head. I read wearing a tighter fitting underwear helps to hold your penis against your body and keep it from moving around. Your body will adjust to the new sensation soon enough. Overall I'm very impressed with the way it looks and think you're healing very well.

Steven.
 
This is the longest I've ever gone without beating off!! As a 19 year old, I'm sure you can all understand how horny I am! Does anyone have any suggestions of lube for when I finally try my new guy out? :)
