What Causes Swelling On Penis Head Post Circumcision?

Hi, I am 18 and just had a circumcision done 2 days ago. Between the cut line and the head I have a lot of swelling occurring, more on one side than the other. It is not bleeding nor is there puss evident. is this uneven swelling normal or is it the start of infection? Should I be wearing loose or tight underwear for support? Is there anything I should do to help in reducing the scar?

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

IN short: Swelling may be due to surgery(post op)

Explanation: Swelling may be present after surgery over there for many days. It requires time to heal. Just you have to maintain personal hygiene so that the wound do not get infected.
You can wear loose cloth with a scrotal support for your comfort.
