Wound From Circumcision, Weeping Clear Yellow Liquid, Taken Antibiotics, Nystatin And Neomycin. What To Do To Speed Healing?

Posted on Sun, 15 Jul 2012

Question: I have a wound from a circumcision that was done by a non profession.
i need urologist opinion.
The scab covering wound is now gone with raw wound. 16 days
The wound is weeping clear yellow liquid
My 1st treated me with bio-antibiotic
Today my 2nd physical dr gave me creme. Nystatin 100,000 units, neomycin 2.5mg, gramicidin .25mg, triamcinolone acetonide 1mg.
I am not taking oral antibiotic yet.
when slightly moist but stops when completely when exposed to air
i am being treated with antibiotics
But need advise on what to do to speed healing and air drying is difficult because the wound still stays wet. Weeping
1st dr is hemotologist / bio medicine. And is recommending four days rest and leave bandage alone for four days. Injected bio equivalent antibiotic 7 doses.
2nd dr Gen MD recommends change bandage twice a day and air at night. Recommends see urologist tomorrow. He may prescribe a real XXXXXXX penicillin pill form.
I hope to see urologist and rest four day and come up with plan.
Please advise and counsel me what you would do for best results.

Doctor's reply to your question above...
Hi,Good to hear from you again.I think it is better that you follow the advice given by your doctor.After applying local cream if there is lots of discharge from the wound, please talk to your doctor, you might be having some allergy to the cream. Please stop applying it.Dressing method is fine; do not tie too much tight. Some form of tight bandage during day time is to prevent too much of discharge from the wound.Please complete the treatment and you should recover fully in short time.Regards,Dr.Pragnesh

Doctor's reply to your question above...
Hi,Good to hear from you again.If the raw area is oozing and have occasional bleed it is better that you dress the area to avoid friction and repeated injury due to routine activities.You can use the cream advised by your doctor for dressing. Do not apply too much of antiseptic solution to clean and please use at least 10 times dilution of the solution to avoid skin damage due to it.(1 tea spoon of solution and 10 spoon of water, make a solution)It should heal with this. See your doctor at least 1-2 times in a week for him to have a look.I hope this helps you in recovering fast.Regards,Dr.Pragnesh

Dear,

Thanks for the query.

I have read your complete history. If I were to be your treating doctor, my advice would be as follows:

1. Don't do anything with the wound.
2. Wash it thoroughly with normal tap water twice a day and then apply topical antibiotic cream such as soframycin cream locally on the scar line.
3. I do not recommend the use of any antiseptic solutions or try to wipe dry the whole area. Just wash it and apply cream.
4. You can put a bandage on the top just to prevent soiling of the clothes; otherwise your wound does not need any dressing. If you put bandage then wet it well with plenty of water prior to removing it.
5. Watch how the wound is progressing. If you again develop discharge from this raw wound, severe pain and swelling or fever, you would need to visit your doctor. Oral antibiotics are entailed in such cases.
6. Usually the wound should heal in a few weeks. Check your blood sugars to make sure diabetes is ruled out. Diabetes can cause delayed wound healing.

Hope I am able to address your concern. Let me know the progress of the condition or if you need any more guidance.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

Best Regards

Hello Dr. XXXXXXX goel.

I have been adding cremes and changing bandages as prescribed.

The healing is slowly happening. There is a yellow slough or slime that is there when I remove bandage. I use cremes recommended and everything appears clean.

Upon removing of bandage, it peals off easy and raw wound exposed, and a yellow slime is there, much of the slime comes off. Leaving nothing but raw wound. Usually a little bleeding may follow In places. this process repeats at ever bandage change.
what I have looks like the last picture in the link below when the wound is moist.
do I need debasement or an enzyeme treatment to remove the slime causing
I am now using honey as of just today, and wonder if hydrogen peroxide help.

Answered by Dr. Rajiv goel (24 hours later)

Dear,

You don't need to do anything.

You can dress the wound with paraffin gauze. Paraffin gauze does not stick to the wound and thus the scar does not peel off and healing continues. The paraffin gauze should be available over the counter at your nearest medical store.

Beyond this you don't need anything. There is no need for any enzyme treatment. Don't use hydrogen peroxide at all.

Hope I have answered your query.

Wish you a speedy recovery

Hello Dr XXXXXXX goel,
Thanks for replying.
Are you suggesting for healing to progress the scar or scab needs to be present?

The cremes has been liquefying the scar/scab... And healing is very slow. Could you consider what strategy for the fastest healing?

Heat and moisture from the location tends to keep the scar/scab soft or fragile since the original scab is gone and the current scab is very thin because of the lack of blood.

Plasma seems to the only forming protection minus the fibrin that blood helps to produce.

I am considering strategy of using gaze that very loosely wrapped where the dried wound stays dry. Outside of the the scab/scar being so thin and fragile, thing I do seems to protect it because the warmth and moisture damages the structure.

Let me know what you suggest.
have good day XXXXXXX Gilkison

Answered by Dr. Rajiv goel (4 hours later)

Dear XXXXXXX

I understand your apprehension, but let me assure you, scab is obviously required for the healing to take place. You should recognize that now your wound is healing by secondary intention.

If I were to be your treating doctor, I wouldn't advise you to use any cream or tight bandages. Just use paraffin gauze. Change it every day. Before removing, wet it thoroughly with water. This shall allow it to be removed without peeling off the scab and thus allow the scar to form and healing to take place.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards
