A member asked:
Had a circumcision 2 months ago, and the scar flares up after sexual activity, any advice? or know how long til it should be fully healed?

CIRCUMCISION: It is likely the prepuce and not the incision that is irritated. It can take a few more months for the glans and prepuce to keratinize and become less sensitive.

Should be healed: At two months you should be healed; however, it takes a year for most scars to fully mature. During that time the redness and sensitivity in the scar will diminish. Redness increases with increased blood flow.
