How long does it take to heal after Circumcision?

Question:

I had curcumcision 2 days ago, and I'm 13 years old. Amazingly, it doesn't hurt that bad, I can actually wear boxers and walk around without a lot of pain, but I have to walk slowly. How long does it normally take for a boy of my age to heal completely though? I've asked my dad about the string that they stitch on to hold the skin, and I was also wondering, does the skin disappear on its own or does a doctor have to take it out after a week? Cause I'm scheduled for another appointment next week, and I'm not sure what they're going to do to me.

Answers:
Normally, it may take no more than two to three weeks for it to heal completely. Wash the area with soap and water, keep it dry, wear clean cotton {preferably white} underwear, try to expose it to fresh air for some time every day, and on no account have sex or masturbate until it's healed completely.

They will remove the string, it normally takes about fourteen days to heal. Keep the site dry and clean, otherwise you may get infection lose osme of it. After about four days you can wash it with soap and water.

First, glad it's not hurting. I got cut as an adult and all the doctors told me how much it was gonna hurt...and like you, it's not bad. Not like you'd think. I was back in the saddle after three weeks. I had dissolving stitches, and it took them about a week and a half to dissolve. Your doctor should have told you whether you had regular or dissolving stitches; either is used in a circ. One reason for the return appointment is just to check his work. But, if he put normal stitches in, then he'll remove them. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your new toy!

Yeah It really isn't that bad I was circumcised at age 19 and on the thrird day after my procedure I was out playing basketball. For most it should take about 2 to 3 weeks to completely heal. Also after the first week the swelling should have reduced as well.

Complete healing takes around six months. Working improvements come progressively fairly fast.

It's going to take about six to eight weeks. Tops
