What can I use on his circumcision?

Question

Hello I had my son on 8/19/08 and he was circumcised the next day. i ran out of the vaseline the dr gave me and can't go to the store until later tonight. is there anything else I can use on it?

Answer 1

No...

Answer 2

YES!   You can use Neosporin.  That is what I used on my son.

Answer 3

No, you don't want to irritate it. Just change him frequently and make sure it doesn't stick to his diaper. See if you can squeeze out even the smallest amount of Vaseline if you haven't thrown away the package/container yet.

Answer 4

there are no 24 hour pharmacies nearby?

I wish my parents hadn't chosen it for me, when I found out about it I read everything I could, I know tons of information about and have read both pro and anti circumcision websites, I really wanted to believe it was good, but the truth just isn't there, you see and hear all these claims but if you ask for the actual study nobody has them or they are so old and used invalid techniques and would not even be considered for publishing, I wanted to believe it was good but if you look at both sides, circumcising without an immediate medical need makes no sense at all.

I did f******n restoration restoring what was left (they do leave some f******n) but it's not all restorable, but what I was able to get back was great. but this came at a price, I can no longer see circumcision as cosmetic or as if it does not really matter, things that I thought were normal I only realized were problems after I restored and no longer had them, sexual enjoyment is way up. I can't imagine how much better the real thing is.

people have said in relation to sexual pleasure

intact=10

cut=3

restored=7

and from my experience I agree with the cut/restored numbers

Answer 5

You should get the vaseline as soon as possible.  It is used to prevent formation of skin bridges and it also prevents chaffing of the glans which at this point would be rather tender and sensitive to touch.  

Answer 6

we didnt use any vaseline on his circumcision, only distilled water. that was what our doctor gave us to use to clean it and didnt recomend putting anything on it after the gauze came off.

Answer 7

I would say no, he is so little. You are limited when it comes to newborns. I'm sorry. Get is soon.
