The healing for babies and infants are rapid.

After the circumcision, you will need to take steps to care for your baby’s penis until it heals. This includes cleaning the area with plain water at least once daily, and whenever the area becomes dirty after a bowel movement. Allow the area to dry, and then apply Betadine and petroleum jelly liberally to prevent irritation.

The written post circumcision instruction will be given to you in the clinic.

Some swelling on the penis is normal. It is also normal for the penis to develop a clear crust that will go away after a few days. A small amount of bleeding is not unusual, but if any blood stain on your baby’s diaper is bigger than a quarter, call us on the form was given.

In very rare circumstances if you notice ongoing bleeding of the penis, apply firm pressure with a washcloth for 10 minutes without checking to see if the bleeding has stopped. If the bleeding continues, please call us immediately. The Plastibell ring should falls within 2 to 7 days.

Tell us if this doesn’t happen within that time frame.

You need to call us about any of the following:

• The wound doesn’t stop bleeding.
• Your baby doesn’t urinate 6 to 8 hours after the procedure.
• The redness or swelling doesn’t improve after 3 days or gets worse.
• The penis has a yellow discharge or yellow coating after 7 days.
• Your baby develops a fever of 38°C or higher.

Depends on the age of your baby’s age usually surgically circumcision healing is  from 2 to 7 days.  Full healing takes up to 6 weeks.
