>>Way too many people would be having serious problems with the tip of their glans if it were so. So I doubt.
>OK, maybe the words 'etching' and 'wound' are a bit harsh. Let's just say that the tip of the glans seems to be raw/galled, and that it is 'sticky', for whatever reason.
>If we knew what it is and what causes it, then maybe guys that have surgery in the future will be able to avoid this. If it can't be avoided, then a treatment that could speed up recovery would be fine.

Ok, went to my doc today for follow-up. My infection is going away fast. The stickyness is normal. Doc said foreskin used to keep the tip moist, but the moisture came from the glands. Now that foreskin is missing, glands will make a new skin. The tip is the last part of the new skin. Let's see how I do in another week.
