hello
Thnks for query .

Your son has undergone circumcision surgery and has developed infection at the site of suture line .

This is not uncommon to have infection of circumcised suture line .

Take antibiotics like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily
..
Ensure to wash his genital with Betadine and apply antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily ..

This will get healed up within 2 weeks .There is nothing to be worried about it .
