Patient's question:
I had a circumcision, and the wound healed very well. 12 days later, I accidentally pulled back the foreskin and there was a crack about 0.8 millimeters long. Is that a problem? What should I do if the wound from a circumcision is accidentally torn a little? What kind of help do I need: Accidentally torn a little from the circumcision wound?Doctor's answer:
In this situation, if the distance to the hospital is close, it is best to go to a nearby hospital to treat the local inflammation. If there is leakage, it may increase the chance of transmission. If personal hygiene is good, paying attention to self-care generally does not cause significant interference. Pay attention to changing underwear frequently and to wash your face more often.A wound less than one millimeter is very small, and under normal circumstances, it is unlikely to cause re-infection. However, avoid strenuous exercise to prevent further tearing of the wound or reducing the size of the cut.
