Help with penis adhesions from circum.

[Chakra]

I circumcised my first son. He is 9 years old now and he has major adhesions from it. They are painful and I don't know what to do. His pedi. told me it will seperate but it's not.

What is happening is the shaft and the mushroom tip of the head are sealed together with skin. Now that his penis is growing bigger that skin is trying to separate causing him pain. There is small holes where it's breaking open.

Any advise on how to help this.

They do typically separate by themselves, but since it is causing your DS pain, ask your Dr for a px for steriod cream to speed things along. I'm not sure this will help since it's really meant for adult men with phimosis, but it is reasonably harmless.

I would go with the steroid cream on this one. It will speed things up a bit.
