I feel like my circumcision healing has gone horribly. It has now been 1.5 months and I feel like I have done everything I could right but I face a new problem after another problem. First some of the stitches fell after like 4 days which I was hella stressed about and it took like a month to close. I also had a minor infection on the backside but so I got some antibiotic cream from my doctor. There is no way I could masturbate yet and I have noticed that there is a weird red spot on the side where the wound has closed but it has left like an outer little flap that is painful to touch. I have used the antibiotic cream now on the spot for like 4 days and it has took the pain away but the small flap is still there. It’s like third of a centimeter wide so not very big but it still worries me. Is it possibly just small infection and the small ball like flap will go down in couple of days with the antibiotic cream or should I call the doctor again :///
I’m just getting tired of all this shit. This healing process has just been so stressful and mentally hard.

One thing I can assure you is skin always heals. Back in 2021 feb I experienced a foreskin tear scared of sutures I left it as is and trust me within a month it healed and rejoined all I did was had some oral antibiotics ( doc prescribed) and applied antibiotic cream (t-bact) for a month ,certainly cases are different currently am on little bit over 4 weeks post Op (circumcision) healing is going on slowly and I still have one stitch to go and some swelling but if you are really bothered just call up your doctor I know its super annoying and frustrating but you are almost there I know maybe couple more weeks and you will be totally ready
If you're at all concerned always seek medical advice. That being said, I also had the red flap thing, one on each side. Lasted until around week 10 and have gone now (4 months on). All part of healing I guess.
think I know what you are talking about, when you say the little ball flap a few mm's wide.. if you are talking about the frenulum line.. I had and have the same thing, I also hoped it would go and convinced myself it was swelling that would go down.. but it never did and it stayed
