I just had a circumcision done about a month ago. I removed the initial bandage given by the doctor and have been using a gauge bandage until the stitches would disappear. Now, there are no stitches left. I tried walking around with the bandage off, but the exposed head of the penis hurts when coming in contact with my boxers. The boxer lining on the inside is coming in contact with the head. It feels like someone is scratching it when I walk around. The penis moves and rubs against the inside. I am still using a bandage to prevent the head coming in contact.
What should I do?
Do I have to get accustom to this over time?
Should I look for boxers that have a different lining?

It was my choice for the circumcision. The medicine I thought the medicine I recieved was for the cut and swelling area only. The swelling is gone as well.

It will feel very sensitive for a while as you are used to having the sensitive area protected by the foreskin. Its a case of time. Try getting slip type underwear which has no seams etc to rub, that may make it easier;

I was circumcised a few years ago and i had a similar experience, i imagine its due to fact that the head is now exposed and obviously being sensitive is being irritated, i assure it goes away after a while, but if it does continue and your genuinely worried....and you have every right to be, i mean its your penis dude...then go simply speak to your doctor about it

I'm a nurse. You should use some form of covering until it heals up. Also did you get any medicine for comfort? If not ask for something. You could take ibuprofen as well, this would help reduce swelling.

Congratulations for your decision!
CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner, healthier and several prestigious research institutions have proved that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV, syphilis or herpes.
Uncircumcised penises are difficult to keep clean, and more prone to infections and penile cancer, studies have shown.
A circumcised penis is naturally clean and virtually free from urinary infections. You will not have to worry again with careful washing of your penis.
About STD's:
As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have proved that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. It has been confirmed that circumcised men are up to 70% less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://www.torontodailynews.com/index.php/HealthNews/2006121404Circumcision
As for women, studies also show that circumcision also protects female partners from AIDS-HIV and other STD's. Browse this article: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/02_08_06.html
About sensitivity of a circumcised penis:
NO medical or physiological study has ever shown that circumcision reduces sensitivity, opposed to common belief. It is completely FALSE that circumcision reduces penis sensitivity. The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) confirms this on their web site; have a look at: http://www.aap.org/pubed/zzzjzmemh4c.htm
Circumcision is an easy and nowadays *painless* procedure, which has many benefits, and virtually no risks.
Circumcision is NOT an amputation. Circumcision is NOT comparable at all to female circumcision, which is something completely different.
Circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African, Asian and Latin American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.
Finally, this site has a lot of useful and *unbiased* information. Make sure you have a good look: http://www.circinfo.net

is your choice of removing the foreskin. see if you do away the boxer and wear a undergarment that will not cause your penis to move too much.

I think you made a big mistake doing that. If it was by your choice and not something to do medically. It serves you right for doing that. You might need to get briefs now so your dick wont move around.
