What is the cause of the yellowish layer on the head of the penis after circumcision?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

It is typical for the glands (the head of the penis) to have a yellowish layer or film after circumcision. This is a common combination of dried discharge, ointment, and dead skin cells that is a result of the normal healing process. Within a few days or weeks, it normally resolves on its own. Urine spraying is another typical side effect after circumcision. The direction of the urine stream may momentarily change if the circumcision site is painful or inflamed during the healing process. As the healing process continues, this should become better.

It is crucial to adhere to any special aftercare directions given by the medical practitioner who performed the circumcision. To safeguard the healing area and increase comfort, they could advise using petroleum jelly or a similar sort of ointment on the penis.

However, it is essential to contact your pediatrician or the medical expert who performed the circumcision if you have any worries about your baby's healing process. They can offer an accurate assessment and handle any particular worries you might have.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
