To the OP -- is your biggest concern the cosmetic affect, or are you concerned about health issues?  If you are mostly worried about cosmetic issues, you really don't need to stress!  Approximately 40% of the boys born in DC Metro this year will not be circumcised at all, and of those who are, many doctors are leaving circumcised boys with more foreskin then they did when we were young, so it is fairly safe to say that you don't have to worry that he will be weird at all.  He is essentially "the new normal."

Also, if you get it redone, than you risk the chance that the doctor winds up removing too much skin, which can lead to painfully tight erections once your son is older -- this actually happened a lot in our generation, thus the trend toward leaving more skin on the penis.  So in this case, too much foreskin is definitely preferable to too little skin.[/quote]

If there are adhesions, you need to pull back to foreskin and apply vaseline exactly like PP said. Otherwise the skin will adhere and get infected. Believe me, we've been there and have talked to nearly a dozen doctors. ALL said the skin must be pulled back nightly. You can also google the topic and get the same reply. Not sure why this poster is writing incorrect information. I think there's a bit of a political motive here. Anyhow, my son is three now and it's a lot better. Thank GOD no more painful adhesions.

I second your opinion. You have to pull back the skin to clean it, otherwise it becomes unhygenic. Isn't that one of the main reason for circumcisions?
IMHO, the best time to clean is when the child is taking a bath. The kid is very relaxed and in the water. You gently pull back the skin and pour water 
over it and it becomes clean. I would think wiping with a tissue paper would be painful and not the most effective way to clean.
