Your son will feel comfortable within a few hours of the procedure. The following tips will minimize the risk of infection and complications:

​

* Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is recommended every six hours after the surgery, up to three doses.

​

* While the wound is healing, keep lubricated with Neosporin or generic triple antibiotic ointment. Make sure to apply a liberal amount of ointment during each diaper change.

​

* To clean penis, carefully wipe with damp cotton balls (mild unscented soap), pat area dry with soft washcloth and apply ointment.

​

* Do not be alarmed by a spot of blood about the (size of a quarter) on your baby’s diaper – it is common after surgery.

​

* In the initial days following the surgery, there may be a yellow-colored scar, which will soon form a crust (this is a sign of healing). Continue to apply ointment.

​

* The plastic ring will fall off  seven to ten days after the surgery. Discontinue the antibiotic ointment and begin full bathing, making sure the healing wound site is kept dry.

​

* Complete healing will take ten to fourteen days.
