The moderators have banned adding photos, which is why you cannot do so.

Swelling is normal after any surgery. You can expect an increase over the first two weeks and then a slow reduction for 6-8 weeks.

Only take antibiotics if the doctor directed you to do so and then be sure to finish the dose to avoid creating resistant bugs.

Everytime I take bath, the swelling increases.

Hi. Did the Dr prescribe antibiotics? Did the dr suspect an infection? When should your bandage come off?

Swelling is very common after the circumcision and antibiotic is the best option. Most of us worried during the first two weeks and it will become normal.

Swelling is bodys mechanism to heal. But it should subside as time passes. Sinec only 3 days have past. Give it some more time to heal. Apply compression.
