Hi. i'm 18 and got circumisioned on friday. the healing is doing great, but i can feel wet slimy(like water) round the stiches. is that normal?

Usually not: Just as any other wound, it should scab, which means it needs to be dry. If you have small amount of urine leakage after voiding, you may need to blot w/tp (not ideal) or place piece of gauze around to wick moisture away (and change w/each void) for a couple days to help w/healing.
