<![CDATA[Inadequate care after circumcision care may increase the risk of complications and infection in children. This community service activity aimed to provide education to parents regarding wound care and medication administration following circumcision in Cipare District. The activity involved 40 children aged 3–8 years who had undergone circumcision, accompanied by their parents or caregivers. Some participants had medical conditions, including phimosis, balanitis, and a history of urinary tract infections. Individual education was provided to parents or caregivers after the children had completed the circumcision procedure through direct explanations, wound care demonstrations, medication administration simulations, and distribution of written guidelines. The educational materials covered wound care and hygiene, dressing changes, use of antiseptics, administration of medications according to clinical indications, and recognition of signs of infection and complications requiring medical attention. The medications provided included ibuprofen as an analgesic and amoxicillin as an antibiotic according to clinical indications. This activity provided parents with practical guidance on post-circumcision care and appropriate medication use at home. Individual education as part of community-based circumcision services may support family involvement in post-procedural care and serve as a promotive and preventive health effort to support wound healing and prevent complications in children.]]>
