Is it okay to use warm water on the suture area after a circumcision?

Patient's question:

The day before yesterday, I just had a circumcision surgery. Can the suture area be washed with warm water?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to clarify this for you. According to your description, you don't need to worry too much—it's normal. Soaking in warm water will definitely peel off. As long as the wound heals properly, it will be fine.
I suggest you rest well and ensure sufficient deep sleep, as well as a proper diet. Nutritional balance is important to prevent wound infection, and personal hygiene should be paid attention to. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
