A member asked:
Good day doc, i did my circumcision about 2 months ago and m starting to see scars more specifically where the stitches were inserted. so i was wondering if it is normal and is there a treatment that i can use to minimize the scaring?

Healing takes 6m: Once the Stitches are removed, the newly closed cut will take up to 6 months to completely heal. While this occurs, new tissue may form that causes the stitch site to look more red and pronounced. Using vitamin E oil can help with the healing process, as can any healing ointment that keeps the tissue well nourished. Man 1 man oil can be used for this purpose.
