Circumcision scar.

Posted , 3 users are following.

I had my circumcision done in 2018. my question is will the scar continue to fade or is this as good as it gets? I was using bio oil pretty regularly but not so much lately. I've heard of scar reduction cream or even surgery. image

    It should continue to improve slowly I'd keep using the bio oil maybe see if it helps

      I've seen other scare fading creams. was thinking about giving those a try. have you ever tried any? I really want to skip the whole explanation of why I was circumcised at 33.

      Yeah it would be no harm to try them I did use one I can't remember the name of it I used it for a while I found it very good I also found that the Bio-Oil was very good to. I think the scar will fade in time I was circumcised a good few years ago now there's still a scar but it is a lot better so it does fade over time I just moisturise it now. Your scar doesn't look bad at all but you can use some of the scar fading creams for sure.

    Your surgeon looks to have done a great job.

    We are all individual so cannot really say whether your scars will improve, but I can at least say that I am 39, and was circumcised more than 38.5 years ago, and my surgery lets just say for the NHS, it could've been a lot better, as mine can develop sores and bleed with heavy use.

    Saying this though, despite never experiencing life uncut, I still very much prefer circumcised to not, and though I've never used bio-oil (or anything else), my wife did after her breast reduction in her 20's, her scars compared to mine are negligible, and she reports no pain or tingling.

      thanks for replying Steve.

      so I was cut at 33 now 35. having experienced both worlds... I like being cut a whole lot more. I only wish I had it done when I was younger. I have tried my best to take care of the scar to reduce it as it is not something I like to get into when I pull it out. not the time to have that conversation. I'm hoping the scar will fade enough to pass for having it done at birth.
