Suggest Treatment For Itching On Penis After Circumcision
I got circumcised 12 days ago. It is not a full circumcision (had to get it done due to phimosis) and now the foreskin still covers the corona of the glans. Have been cleaning with 0.9% saline twice a day and applying soframycin. However since last 2 days the glans has been itching, especially in the corona region. In addition the outer foreskin is also itchy. Most of the stitches have come out. I am 26 years old and a smoker. I am worried about the itching. Please help.

Itching may be found during the stage of healing. As the skin of glans will be very sensitive it takes time for keratinization. So, you may experience it for sometime. If there is any redness/ulceration contact your doctor. If not continue cleaning it. All the best.
