A member asked:
When do i stop applying vasoline gauze to my newborns penis? something yellowish is growing on near the wound, is this normal? dob (4/25

Normal: Usually you need to apply vaseline around the circumcised area for about 5-7 days until the wound heals. Some yellowish crust or sometimes with a little yellowish moist mucus is normal as long as there is no worsening swelling and pain. It's just some body fluid plus urine that dry up.
