Had a circumcision surgery last Saturday on 14 April but since yesterday I noticed some pus in the wound and it hurts when I try to clean it. Started taking ceftum 500 twice a day but not sure if washing with warm water will help or make the pus worse

It's important to seek medical advice immediately if you're experiencing pus and pain in a circumcision wound. While you're taking Ceftum, it's recommended to gently clean the area with warm water to help manage the infection, but you should not scrub or use harsh soaps. Warm water can help remove debris and promote drainage, but it's crucial to follow the guidance of your doctor, who may have specific instructions for wound care after circumcision.

Question

I'm a 26-year-old guy and I've been really stressed about an issue I'm having. There's this membrane-like thing that seems to prevent my foreskin from pulling back properly, and it really stings if I try to force it. I came across some info online and I think it might be the frenulum. It's affecting my relationship and Im really worried about it. Is there anything I can do at home to fix it, or does it mean I need to get circumcised? Any advice would be great.
