Summary— Three methods of circumcision dressing were compared in a prospective trial. The results showed that dressings containing tincture of benzoin adversely affected wound healing in children. Dressing the wound with greasy tulle gave better results; the addition of soframycin did not produce better results than those achieved with ordinary paraffin tulle.
