>I had a frenuloplasty over a week ago. I am worried about stitch tunnels, but am recieving conflicting views. Today a nurse told me that i should bathe the wound in the bath to help the healing and the stitches to dissolve

I had a partial circ a couple of years back and was told by the surgeon to take a bath with a bit of salt in it - that was from day 6 onwards after surgery. The stitches began to pop open a few days after. Listen to the nurse is my advice.
