Hi, My son is 6 weeks old and was circumcised at 4 days old before he left the hospital. It healed great, but then a few days ago I noticed that on the underside of his penis where he was circumcised is swollen. It is not red but he hasn t had any swelling before. Also, I noticed it when he became very fussy. He s usually a normal baby who only has his witching hours but for the past 2 days he cries for the majority of the time he s awake. Could this be due to the swelling on the underside of his penis? What could he causing the swelling? Please help.
