How Can Infection Around A Circumcision Wound Be Treated?
My 5 yr old seems to have a very minute hole around the head of his penis. Almost seems like a very small gap that wasn t closed after circumcision or something. There is a hard piece of pus that is stuck inside of it. 2nd time this has happened. Is there anything we can do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It may be an infection post circumcision. I will suggest to use local cream with antibiotic to prevent things getting worse. Also I will suggest to have a urinare analyses to exclude serious infection. If nothing change with the cream then you better see consult a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
