Differences in Circumcision?

HI everyone!

Here is a sensitive question, but one I have to ask. I took care of my girlfriend's son the other day and I noticed, when I was changing his diaper, that his little pee-pee looks so different than my sons! Both are circumcised, but he has more skin left than my son. I had asked my ped about my son's circ and she said it was fine, but that a lot was cut off. Is it normal for little pee-pees to look so different?

Thanks,

L.

What can I do next?

I'm glad you asked this question. My son has more skin than most of his friends (just about the only other "little" penises I've seen!) and it's nice to know there is a normal variation out there.
Your question put my mind at ease!

In one word, yes. I have 3 sons. Each looked different. I work with babies of all ages every day and there is a huge span of normal. HTH S.

My son needed his redone because the gyno who did his jacked it up and it was done wrong so i can't help you on that. But now he finally after 8 years of needing good nights is the first time he finally doesn't wet the bed all night. The dr kept telling me his bladder was too small. but doesn't make sense whane he never had accidents during the day and potty trained fine just couldn't make it all night i still think its from his circ needing to be redone.

I have two sons and yes, they were both different. Two different doctors, two different cuts (like barbers :) One had more taken off the other not so much.

Never seen a circumcised one - in the UK it is not done unless for religious reasons so I have no clue what one would look like!! I guess my son will be the odd one out at shower time!!
