Penile surgery wound issues one month post-operation

Patient's question:

After of circumcision surgery... Today, I just had the gauze removed... It's just like the usual dressing change... I found some thread still hadn't fallen off, so I cut them myself! It's absorbable thread! I noticed that there's a spot where it seems about 2-3 stitches didn't close properly, and some flesh has grown out! But the wound has already healed! Every time I change the dressing, I feel embarrassed to look at it, and then I can't see it after it's bandaged! And now it's still a bit swollen... Some of the two needle holes hurt when touched... But it's not noticeable from the outside!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, there is no major problem. It has only been a month now. The particles you mentioned are scars from the suture, so don't worry.
The next layer will gradually absorb and fall off in about a month, so don't hurry. As long as the wound is fine, just follow up regularly and follow the doctor's advice.
