Do you need to soak it in potassium permanganate after circumcision?

You can use a low concentration of potassium permanganate solution to soak after circumcision, but it is not always necessary.
Potassium permanganate solution has strong oxidizing properties, because it also has a certain disinfecting effect, preventing wound inflammation, and is also conducive to the subsidence of postoperative edema. However, potassium permanganate is also corrosive and should be used in low concentrations to avoid corrosion of the postoperative wound.
Compared with the use of potassium permanganate, povidone-iodine is more widely and conveniently used. Povidone-iodine, as a commonly used disinfectant, is often prescribed by the doctor after circumcision as a daily disinfection, and does not need to be prepared, can be used directly, convenient and quick, directly soaked with povidone-iodine or use sterile cotton swabs dipped in the application of disinfection.
