I got circumcised 29 days ago, due to balanoposthitis (a level up from balanitis; glans and foreskin were infected) that is still on going after a year and a half. I thought circumcision would help and I think it sorta did, but I can still see the discolouration (It is not a scar. The infection is clearly still there.). I don't want to use medicines for it, since they're filled with chemical and at times, they only make it worse. So, I was wondering if you know of any natural remedies for it?
Also, since the inner foreskin has been removed, my condition is now medically referred to as balanitis instead. The only infected area remains on the glans. Mainly at the top.
Any help is deeply appreciated!
I really just want to be back to normal already.. It's been far too long.
Thank you!

As you are finding, sadly, circumcision is not guaranteed to get rid of balanitis. It will get rid of foreskin infections as there is is no foreskin - but the glans is still there. Take care with how you treat any remaining infection. Use the wrong treatment and you could make things worse. You need to see a doctor/dermatologist.
Are you still being followed up post op? Sounds like you need to be.
