Circumcision

Caring for Your Circumcised Baby

Circumcision is the act of cutting the foreskin of the penis, a fold of skin that protects the glans – which is the bell shaped head of the penis. Circumcision is usually done for religious, cultural, or hygienic purposes and is usually performed a few days after a child’s birth.

Caring for such a condition can cause an undue amount of stress for parents. They naturally worry for the child’s safety and fret over any discomfort the child may feel.  Unfortunately, they are at a loss for how to deal with their newly circumcised child.

Taking care of a newly circumcised infant is a challenge; this guide hopes to make that challenge a little more manageable.

The act of circumcision exposes the glans to the environment. By nature, the glans is a smooth mucous membrane and is sensitive to touch. Upon circumcision, the glans gradually dries up making it tougher and scalier. This is what contributes to the normal appearance of a circumcised penis.
