question: Hello doctor, My circumcision surgery was done before a month. The swelling and surrounding area seem to improve until last month. In the mid of last month when I was cleaning the area, I noticed it starting to burn around the bottom swelling area. During those couple of days, I saw the swelling lightly increase. It is now late and have not seen any drop of swelling and worried that this would never heal. Also, my tip area has some light swelling which has not changed for the past eight weeks (it was pretty bad for the first two weeks). My erection last month did not hurt, but now when I get erections, I have some discomfort due to the dryness or redness. I saw my doctor last week who did the surgery, which he did not say much. I am attaching photos on how it looked last month and how it looks now. The picture with the stitches is what it was last month. If you can help me answer the questions below, that will be great since I am stressing out. Is it normal to see this type of swelling behavior? Is it normal to have swelling around the tip? Is this expected healing based on my current photos and healthy to see swelling for three months? I started having a burning sensation which is on and off after I cleaned the area, I am assuming this is just from the irritation that I caused? When I elevate my penis when I get out of the shower, the glands and swelling area look white or tan like it is almost healed, and I see a slight decrease in swelling, is this a good sign? Can I have swelling for this great cause any long term complications or there is nothing I should be worried about? My Glands looked dry and slight red and cracked. Is applying sensitive lotion safe to this area and will it help heal?
