Thinking about it my previous post did sound a lot like a promotion for a circumcision, which it was.

For alternatives consider that complete healing and adjustment can take a while and that it continues for a long period- you may just need more patience
(easy to say). In addittion to the creme your doctor provided things like vitamin E applied topically and keeping the surface oily or moisturized may contribute to softening of trhe scar tissue. Perhaps using something like a plastic bag held on with a rubber band to retain the softening healing agent.
Massging and kneading the scar area gently would help but this takes time.

I would venture to say that your problems could be lessened by lesser surgery than a full circ by widening the slit and tapering the cut side to extent wider toward the tip, in essence becoming a partial circ with little or no removal from the lower side. Could be considered a diagonal circ. The result would leave the glans mainly exposed but would preserve more foreskin. Could be considered a "diagonal circ". This would alleviate the tightness you now experience. There has been at least one MD that did his infant circs in this manner. There's a pic on circlist "an unusual circ". No doubt you would have a hard time getting a Dr to do what *you* want even though you will be paying him!

Perhaps AJ could comment. I believe he has a "partial circ'. I am quite convinced that- provided your mind hasn't been brainwashed that either of three ways works about equally well: intact normally covered, circed, or skinned back intact. And IMO the skinned back being slightly the best!
