Circumcision sutures have not fallen off
Underwent circumcision due to phimosis and tight frenulum 15 days back. Doctor said that the stitches will fall off on their own after two weeks. The stitches still look like the first day after surgery.
The stitches cause lots of pain if I have a random erection during the day or night due to pulling on the skin.

For pain, can apply lignocaine gel locally

If the stitches are causing you pain, you should get it checked by your surgeon to see if there is any infection at the site.
You could get the sutures removed.
