> But you also have to consider that some of the ointment would get rubbed off on your clothes (underwear).

No, that's the point. If you apply the right amount, it is rubbed into the skin and disappears as you rub it in. It can't and won't rub off on your underwear, because there's nothing left on the surface - that is how it is when you apply it properly.

Swelling of which you complain has disappeared, and there are no whitish blotchy areas or hard areas.

> Before I started appling the ointment, there were so much dead skin on the head of the penis. I asked the Uroligist, he said "because you penis is not used to not having a foreskin"

It's much the same as if you started leaving your mouth open 24 hours a day and made it dry out.

> my family doctor, ... said "it is part of the healing process". Who was right?

Both, I would say! You are, after all, healing from the circumcision.

> Is having dead skin on the head of the penis and the incision area a sign of active BXO?

I don't think so. I think it is a sign of having had a circumcision.

> sorry I couldn't wait a month to ask you the above question.

By all means. I merely meant that in another month it should have settled down (with the ointment) quite well, and you may need reminding to tell us how it goes.
