Question : I have had a circumcision 20 days back because of chronic balanoposthitis. The infection was on the foreskin and on glans mildly. After the circumcision glans were looking perfectly fine and the healing has been perfect however after 2 weeks of circumcision one side of my glans feels super sensitive having irritation with some redness, meatus is normal. I am posting a pic here as well. Please advise if the balanitis is recurring now or what is the case.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I saw the picture.
Hope you are not Diabetic.
There is Edema near the operative site.
There is mild infection also.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Cefuroxime 500mg along with Anti inflammatory tablets to my patients with similar condition.I also add Chymoral forte tablet if the edema is more.
Ointment containing POVIDONE IODINE will help you.
Please consult your Surgeon and get appropriate prescription.
Nothing to worry.
It will come down.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery.

Thanks for your reply doctor. My surgeon says that everything is fine and these things happen post op. Please clarify few more doubts: 1. What is this swelling and fungal look over the healed stitches area ( attaching pic) 2. I have been on Augmentin 625 and an anti swelling and pain killer for the first 8 days after operation. Can I still now take your course of medicines and how long should I take your prescribed med. Hope there is no contradiction . Pls advise 3. Last thing is, which anti inflammatory medicine you will prescribe. Please name it. Thanks !
