What should I do if the wound above is painful on the sixth day after circumcising?

Patient's question:

Six days after circumcising, there are two black spots near the (gauze) above the wound and below the glans, which are painless and itchy. I applied iodine. Is there a problem? Do I need to go to the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

Considering it is due to blood stasis causing blackness, it is necessary to carefully observe. If there is no improvement or if it protrudes, it is generally not a problem. In the near future, pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not drink alcohol. Try to control erections as much as possible. The wound surface should always remain dry to prevent getting wet. The foreskin can be stable, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
