Wow, balantis. That's unfortunate, damn...

 

Gotta say, I read this and at first I was like not gonna respond to that, but then I figured if you're asking about this on a chem forum you are either pranking, lost, or desperate.. In any case my ego can take it if your pranking, and if you're lost or desperate well, I can at least point you in the right direction.

 

sigh...

All of the information below assumes that you have seen or are planning to see a doctor:

 

1st. I would suggest visiting one of those medical forums where real doctors will often respond to your questions. I'm just a chemist, so that is not going to be overly useful to you at this time.

 

2nd. Before or after you do that, go to this link: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Balanitis/Pages/Treatment.aspx

It's reputable (the NHS), i.e., none of that homeopathic do it yourself at home with random herbs bs.. The

 

Since you might be looking for alternative treatments...

As a chemist, the only thing I can tell you is don't.

If it isn't sanctioned by your doctor stay away from it. If you don't like your doctor you can always get a second opinion from a different one...

 

There's literally no regulation on "natural" dietary supplements that claim to heal this, grow back that, or reverse this. Avoid them, unless you like to waste your money on mineral surprise. The quality assurance, components, and concentrations for those things are not regulated by the FDA. Moreover, there are just as many crackpot doctors as there are bottles of contaminated, low quality, health damaging crap in your local GNC, avoid the crackpot doctors too. They either bought their MDs online or found them stuffed inside a children's cereal box..

 

Best of luck,

Cheers

Other than cleaning the forskin daily and if and when infected treating it with antibiotics, the only way to really cure it is to have a circumcision. The quicker it is done the less long term suffering the child will have. If he has already had a number of infections then you need to seriously consider doing this operation ASAP. Try to get a real surgeon to do it since medical students and interns seem to not know how to do this carefully so there are no remaining skin tags at the point of incision around the corona.
