hi my 4 year old boy was circumcised about a year ago but the end of his penis is still quite purple sometimes red and is very bumpy is this normal?. Also recently he has found a lump under his skin of his penis just below the head what could this be? he had no follow up from the consultant after the procedure.

in circumcision, taking too much or too little skin out can cause problems .
in your son's case , it's possible there is little skin was taken during the procedure , which can stagnate the blood in the head of the penis and causes purple looking head . the lump you see in the base of the head of the penis is the extra skin which should have been removed .
I recommend visiting a pediatric Surgeon, it's simple procedure .
I hope this helps with your question
