Patient's question:
Hello, my partner and I had a circumcision surgery last year. Recently, we noticed a small hole at the front incision site of the foreskin, which contains a black substance. I'm very scared, but there's no pain. Could it be that the stitches have come undone? All the stitches had fallen off by themselves at the time. Thank you for your answer.Doctor's answer:
Normal circumcision surgery does not usually involve a split. In your case, it might be due to local tearing caused by an erection post-surgery. As for the black substance inside the split, it could be formed by the coagulation of a small amount of blood. If there is no redness, swelling, or leakage locally, it can be left untreated. Just continue to disinfect daily.
