Got Circumcised. Having Clear Puss On That Area. Normal?
hi, i just got circumcised, however the foreskin was attached to my head, they have pulled it off but a scab has formed on the penis head. It is quite large, and there is some sort of clear pus or liquid on the area? I am worried it may be an inefection? the penis head is very sensitive and soar but the stitches are not sensitive at all really. I would really appreciate a response, Thanks

Hi
welcome to HCM.
This is indicative of suture line infection.
Antibiotic ointment and oral antibiotics are needed.
In addition, daily showers, wearing cotton underwear should help.
Best regards
