What Could Be The Reason For Little Skin Bulbs Between Penis Head And Shaft After Circumcision?

I recently had a circumcision done and noticed something odd with the stitching. In between the head and the shaft there are extra little skin bulbs. Now I have looked up surgeries and how they stitch it. It seems that in all of the surgeries, the doctors stitch it shut in a nice straight line, that is not how mine is. I have the line but above the line are the little skin bulbs. I was wondering why this is? And what problems could I have with it? Thank you

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have undergone Circumcision very recently and have noticed small bulbs at suture line.

Do not worry this is a tissue reaction to suture material that has been used to suture the skin edges.

This will go away within a period of 2-3 weeks.

Please continue taking broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
