Hi i was suffering from phimosis. So I went for circumcision.

But I am little bit worried about infection and my current situation. So can anyone please help. I think back side of my panis is infected (I am not doctor but due to yellow part I assumed). And I think my stichies are not properly healing can anyone please help me.

Its been 16 days of op. I use betadine ointment with water to clean wound. How much more time does it need to heal? Is it infected.? Any tips.?

Betadine is certainly antiinfective, but antibiotic cream will certainly help

I had the same man, I went to the doctor and he explained to me the white part was the burn of the cauterizer, but if I was you would go and check with him at the end of the day they are the professionals and he will advice you on whats best.

From the photo it just looks really raw. Is it painful or smelly? Is there puss?

Pain when get Erection. Not smelly at all.. There is some yellow part but the same yellow thing was there which stichies are healed now. But the yellow part is much here compare to there.

Sounds normal. There should be some pain and tenderness at this point during erection. As the skin heals and stretches pain will go away. The yellow fluid is probably lymph fluid which helps healing.

It looks like you will have a lot of scar tissue due to the nature of the technique the doctor used. I will probably take longer for the frenulum area to heal compared to the other side of penis. Gentle massage with oil several times a day may help smooth out any raised or lumpy scar tissue
