swollen skin between stitches and penis head

I was circumcised 4 days ago (32 years old). I have what resembles a ring of swollen skin in between the stitches and the head. My penis itself is still quite swollen. Just wondering if this is a normal part of the healing process.

thank you

Hey there - absolutely yes, what you're describing is the aftermath of being circumcised. I was circumcised nearly 6 weeks ago and the skin between my head and scar is still swollen on one side. Don't panic, it will be swollen and painful, you're really early in the process so just trust in the healing and rest assured that what you're experiencing is completely normal.

Yes normal to have swelling. You're only 4 days and mine took quite a few weeks to go down.
