Could antiseptic lotion be used to clean penis after circumcision?
Patient: Hi my name is Eldrin, i just had my foreskin cut off, and its early days but i was given pain killers and i was told to wash and dry it everyday. I only started washing/cleaning it yesterday, can I use the savlon antiseptic wash/cream to help with the hilling process or what can you advise me to use please thanks. Doctor: Hello,  You can apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin in the initial post-op days. Antiseptic lotions can cause dryness and healing might get delayed. Once the wound is healed you can apply Savlon if required.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
