       Care of the Circumcised Penis

• Squeeze water on penis to remove stool.

• Try not to touch freshly circumcised penis.

• Apply a generous amount of Earth Mama Angel Baby’s Baby Bottom Balm, petroleum jelly, or Vitamin A&D to the penis every diaper change to prevent the penis from sticking to the diaper and aide in healing.

• Monitor for excess bleeding and/or signs of infection.

• Circumcisions usually heal within the first 7-10 days. The penis will return to a pink color when healed.
  
  
  

  
  

  Care of the Uncircumcised Penis

• Does not require any additional care.

• Do not retract foreskin of uncircumcised penis until the skin retracts naturally on its own (this may take years).
