Lump Of Skin Above Stitch Line Like Balloon Near Penis Head After Circumcision. Is This Normal?

I was circumcised a week ago and all the stitches seem fine. But on my left hand side of the penis I seem to have a lump of sensitive skin above the stitch line and it looks as if two of the stitches have cut through that skin. Is this normal to have almost a balloon between my head and stitches. And will it heal properly or do I need new stitches?
