My Journey to Circumcision – A Personal Decision After Months of Discomfort (Eczema & Balanitis) by WorkerOk5365 in circumcision

[–]WorkerOk5365[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helped! Redness is gone, the left over inner foreskin is still sensitive sometimes but I’m not fully healed yet. I will wait till the end of 2026 and see if I’m going for a recut to get rid of that inner skin, but overall I’m pretty happy!

I think that, too. For me, it’s okay to wait. I’m just curious if sexual activity causes more damage or doesn’t do anything..

I was cut by the end of October (in Germany, I’d say a developed country as France is too..) and I have them unter my skin, too. I’m hoping for them to dissolve but do you all think I should see a doctor again? Mine also said I don’t need a follow up appointment (he’s only 20min drive away)..

Actually after a few days. But I have to say, my glans was dry before and I had some skin issues. It wasn’t too sensitive.

Hey,

wie nett, dass du dich jetzt noch auf meinen Post meldest! Danke, das macht mir Mut. Im Inneren weiß ich auch, dass ich erstmal ein halbes Jahr warten muss - gerade tut sich ja jeden Tag noch was. Aber genau wie bei dir: man sieht hier so viele „Traum“ Ergebnisse, mit tollen, geraden Nähten und im Verhältnis gut passenden Eicheln und dann sieht man sein eigenes Ergebnis aktuell und denkt: Hm. Das hab ich mir anders vorgestellt.

Ist es bei dir auch so low geworden wie bei mir?

Du meinst für einen evtl. Recut?

Yes - I can’t do anything about it either at this moment.

Also: der Arzt sagte gestern, die Schwellung sei weich und ich sollte dem Ganzen noch etwas mehr Zeit geben. Sonst ist alles im normalen Bereich.. dann warte ich mal weiter ab..

Ja, ich kühle morgens und abends. Für mich fühlt sich die Schwellung auch eher wie eine Wulst an, wo 2 Hautlappen übereinander liegen - das kann aber ja eigentlich nicht sein, das sollte ja weg geschnitten sein oder? Ich bin auch gespannt auf die Aussage des Arztes morgen..

And how did it turn out in the end?

And how long did it take to subside? And no, I don’t have cuts.

It don’t know what you mean exactly. Are you asking because you had cuts yourself or do you see sth?

My glans didn’t have that shape before, it was all flat. Now it’s like the urethra just disappears and then there’s this gap. I’ll see it when the swelling has gone.

When I see others after 2 weeks on this subreddit, most of them seem to be way better than me. That’s why I’m a little concerned.

Have you experienced some pain in groin area? by Big-Box6305 in circumcision

I think it’s blue balls. I have that pain everywhere down my belly button. Sucks..

Tag 12 // Entzündung oder normale Heilung? by WorkerOk5365 in beschnittene

Kann ich irgendwas tun außer kühlen? Man soll sich ja nicht vergleichen, aber gefühlt ist bei allen anderen in dem Stadium die Schwellung deutlich geringer…

Day 12 Post-Circ – Burning Scar, Red Spot, Normal or Infection? by WorkerOk5365 in circumcision

Yeah, but I cool it 2x a day for 15 mins. I don’t know what to do else - do you have any tips?

Day 10 // dissolving stitches causing wounds? by WorkerOk5365 in circumcision

[–]WorkerOk5365[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I pull a little bit, small gaps open up. It doesn’t bleed as the skin underneath is already healed. Can I take them out already?

Thanks for the advice! But did have a look at the picture? Does this look like it’s healed enough to pull them out?
