Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone surgery of circumcision and have nticed haematoma at the site of surgery.
This haematoma is likely to b due to active bleeding from one of the vessels of Dorsal Veins of Penis and unlikely to stop spontaneously .It needs to be ligated immediately.
Please go to ER and get haematoma drained out and ligate the bleeding vein.
