You seem to be suffering from severe swelling but there isn't much one can do about it and usually isn't really a reason for concern as it is only natural.

What you can try to do is use anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen to try to get the swelling down. When laying on the bed, keep your crotch part elevated above your heart and try to keep the penis upright towards the ceiling (use a pillow or when walking around in your underwear tuck it up).

Try to get a bag of frozen peas, put it in a towel and put it on your penis for about 5-7 minutes, then put the bag into the freezer, you can repeat that every now and then depending on how you feel. It is week 1 and still pretty fresh. Other than your swelling your wound seems nice and clean which is good. Give it more time and it will slowly go away.

Good luck.
