Bro that kinda looks like an allergic reaction. I hope you're not being excessive with the salts or whatever.

Best advice is to go see your urologist this week asap, preferably by Tuesday. Because you have a ton of concerns, and urologists are the experts! Take a written out list of questions for him

Have you applied anything on the skin that might have been a reaction , but your still in the early days bro my skin had patches of bruises yours look to be still in the early stages I recommend to not put anything anymore day by day it will get better , I was tooo thinking of many ways to lower the swelling, but I let it heal on it’s own I’m 21 days post op
