    The growth of small granulations in the wound after circumcision may be caused by physical factors, local infection, incorrect surgical procedures, etc. It can be treated by local application of drugs or surgery.

    1. Physical factors

    Circumcision is a relatively common men's surgery. It has a very good effect on the foreskin caused by genetic factors or genital dysplasia. During circumcision, if scars appear, it will lead to cell tissue proliferation at the wound site after the surgery, and small granulations will appear after the wound heals. You need to go to the hospital dermatology department for a timely examination. You can use dexamethasone ointment for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can promote local cell tissue recovery.

    2. Local infection

    Small granulations appearing in the wound after circumcision may be due to improper care of the wound site after the operation. Moreover, local cell degeneration may occur after repeated stimulation by bacteria and inflammation, and cells may protrude outward or proliferate. Small granulations will appear and require timely treatment through laser surgery.

    3. Incorrect surgical operation method

    The growth of small granulations in the wound after circumcision has a certain relationship with the surgical operation. Incorrect operation methods in the operating room will also lead to abnormal healing of local skin tissue and cause small granulations.
