I have a important question please bear with me here. I was circumcised maybe at the age of 8 or 9 and what i realized while growing up was that i had still had stitches stuck on my scar line. I had took them out when i was maybe 14-15 and i ended up getting stitch tunnels. I have 3 stitch tunnels in particular. They look like piercings and sometimes they itch. I was wondering is it possible to get them removed.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. There is no need to remove such tunnels, because they are harmless. Itching sometimes is sign of infection locally. To remove this infection you should clean it through and properly. Tunnels after the 7 to 8 days is not the sign of infection and need not worry. There is nothing much action is required, you should wash it while you are bathing with clean water. If you are sexually active than you should wash the part after each act of the sex. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
