What Could Swelling Ring Below The Glans From Remaining Foreskin After Circumcision Mean?
Hi, everyone. I am 25 yrs old and had a circumcision 25 days ago. The stiches are all gone, the last stich feel out 5 days ago. The sensitivity is going fine, the wounds are completely all dry and no more lymph leaking. No more pain as well. The only problem I have now is the swelling ring just below the glans from the remaining foreskin. I mean it s been staying like that for the last 9 days. The beginning was good, but after day-16(which is 9 days ago), I haven t noticed any changes yet. Is it possible for the swelling to just stay like that for good? If it s not, what should I do to make the swelling gone?? Please help me.. Thank you so much.

Hello
Thanks for query.
Swelling around the coronal sulcus after surgery of Circumcision is due to edema at the site of suture line and is not abnormal .It will gradually get reduced over period of 2-3 months and become normal .
No active treatment is required except to clean it up properly with warm water daily.
