Just recently had a circumcision, week one to be exact, what is the ring around the head of my penis? will it go away? also when can i exercise again

Let me explain: If a plastic ring (plastibell) is left on the penis after the circumcision instead of a bandage, leave this ring in place until it slips off on its own, usually within 5 to 10 days. It usually takes about 7 to 10 days for the penis to fully heal after circumcision.
