Too much skin removed during adult circumcision
hello i had to get a circumcision procedure from another doctor about 2 years ago. the problem is that too much skin was taken off, especially the outer skin. i never had a problem with the glans rubbing against clothes, but the inner skin is very sensitive and even painful in my everyday activities. i’d like to do some foreskin stretching to get more of my outer foreskin to hopefully cover some of the inner foreskin. i am new to all of this so i don’t what stretching techniques there are for someone like me with not much skin left??
anyone have experience in that area? also, i want to make sure that only the outer skin grows, if possible. i don’t want to do foreskin restoration, just loosen everything up as it was done too tightly… also, there was some scarring, i believe due to the tight nature of the procedure. this has caused some curving in the direction of the scarring. is there any cream, etc. that can reduce scarring or is
the only way to correct that going to be surgery? i was planning on probably going to dr. reed to get everything cleaned up once i grow a little more skin…

Hi Dillon,
How this could be avoided.
We make the first cut distally exactly in accordance with patient wishes, how much inner skin to leave behind. The second or upper cut is often done twice, the first is moderate and could be made tighter if when the two edges are temporarily brought together to see how much tension there is on the peno-pubic angle.
Ultimately the patient participates in making the decision for the final cut in the operating room with a hand held mirror. The urologist is an agent for the patient.
This is your circumcision, your calling card.

My son was circumcised at birth. He is 3 months old now. His inner skin (under the head) was swallowed and after healing the skin stretched on the right side and bottom of penis. So now there is a lot of wrinkled skin (inner skin) under the head. That makes the head twist to the right, and urine opening too. His doctor says it will be fine when he grows up. He did not pay attention to his operation. I am very much worried, please help me. I do not know what to do, where to go? Please help me. Thank you.
