What should I do if there is pus discharge after a circumcision?

Patient's question:

I've had a circumcision for a month, and the stitches haven't fallen off. Also, there's pus coming from the needle hole. What could be the reason, and how should it be handled?

Doctor's answer:

If it is confirmed to be a small pustule, you can leave it alone. Applying Bacitracin can help it dissipate. It will not spread. If it is a suture body with an allergic reaction, it will be expelled. And since you are using absorbable sutures, they will be absorbed.
As everyone knows, phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, and maintain a light diet, avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up appointments can be scheduled when necessary.
