There are many methods of circumcision. Even those that are stitched closed there are many different types of sutures used and suturing methods.
Consequently, the post surgical wound care is also different.
Generally speaking, for any surgical wound that is stitched closed, you want to keep the dressing on for at least 48 hours
After that whether you dress it or not is controversial and your surgeon should advise on that
Using Epsom salts wash also is better for certain surgical closure methods than others.
