So I have an awkward question to ask. DS was circumcised 2 days after he was born. He is 6 months old now and DH has been worried that not enough skin was taken when he was circumcised. DH said the head shouldn't be covered at all and by now there should be a "scar" (DH seems to think it just doesn't look right and seems concernd). I didn't know what to think so I asked our ped who said we had two options. We could go to a urologist and have the circumcision redone or we can wait to see if he "grows into it", but right now, there is nothing to really worry about. I have never heard of a boy "growing into it", does that happen?
Does anyone else have the same problem? Does anyone have an older son who has "grown into it"? Does anyone's son have a scar?
Sorry to ask such an awkward question, but I'm not quite sure what to do or who to ask.

I can't see a scar from DS's circ. His skin at the base of the head is 'chubby'...sorry can't think of a better word right now. But you can definitely see the whole head of his penis.
My friend just got her son re-circumcised at 8 years old cause they didn't take enough off. They said he looked like he had been half way circumcised. Although I was the one who wanted to get him circ'd I don't think I would redo it when they were older. I also don't think they grow into it either....if it bothers you that much then you can always get them to do it over.
Our son's penis is mostly covered with skin. When he's gotten an erection it has kind of popped out and looks more normal. So I do think that they sort of grow in to it.
As was said, I'm sure your pediatrician would've noticed if something is wrong,
