>Ask the doctor to break the adhesion after having applied local anesthetic. Then, you should apply some oil/vaseline to the glans/skin at regular intervals and make sure the skin doesn't reattach itself to the glans.
>It can take up to about 3 years for the glans to develop its full skin layer, and until this is done, its surface tends to be "sticky" in terms of adhering to nearby skin. On a circumcised lad, I suspect that the glans does complete its development quickler and loses it adhering property sooner.
>Adhesions are not uncomon in adults, it just means that the parents never noticed them when the boy was a baby/lad and never took any remedial action, and the poor chap grew up with them, not knowing that they could be removed easily.
Thank you so much for responding. I was afraid that they would have to do that. I want it remedied, especially sooner, if that is better. I just don't want him to hurt. It was hard enough to have him circumcised to begin with.Again, thank you.
