I was circumcised on the 11th of November (3 days ago when writing this post).
I have quite a large amount of swelling, particularly in the area between the head of the penis and the skin below it. Will this go down or will it always look like this? I think this is the area in which the skin is newly stitched too.
Additionally, is it normal to still have light bleeding throughout the day and night even though the operation was 3 days ago, and if so how long is bleeding ok to have.
Thanks in advance.

I had my operation almost 3 weeks ago now and I can tell you that swelling, bruising, lumps and such are expected. As for the bleeding, a little amount is normal but if you believe the bleeding is excessive you should contact your doctor. Honestly, the only real advice I can give you is to wait because things will start to look better. I am also hoping for the same thing to happen to me, too, lol..
