Swelling on shaft after circumcision

So I just had my circumcision 4 days ago and I’m just curious if it is normal for my penis to turn purple up and under the shaft. It also feels different when I touch it then other parts of my penis that aren’t purple. Kind of like numbish. I know swelling is supposed to occur but I just don’t know if it’s normal or not if it turns purple on the shaft. Thank you!

My shaft didn’t turn any purple..

Might it be bruising from where you were injected with local anaesthetic?

That happened to me also. My doctor said it isn't a problem. I am on month 4 now. The purple color starts to go away and it become more pink. I guess in the future it will keratinize.

I am guessing this happens because the corona is snuggly hidden by the foreskin. Maybe even suffocated a bit. Naturally, it isn't suppose to be revealed.

Not what you're looking for?
