Circumcision Infection?

Hi,

I was circumcised 3 weeks ago, and recently noticed a yellow crust on the underside of the penis, most noticeable after bathing. I've tried to scrape it off, but not completely able to due to sensitivity.

I've attached a photo.

Is this likely to be an infection? Would appreciate any tips and reassurance.

Thanks,

David

Is there discharge? It doesnt look infected. Use cream/lotion or olive or coconut oil and gently try to rub it off and see if that will move it.

It doesn’t look infected brother that’s for sure what I would probably assume that it is, is dry skin. Add bath oil to your baths they helped me a lot. Rest easy.. it looks fine.
