A member asked:
Do you think my skin under my penis head is swollen because i bandaged it up because of sores from folliculitis on my head? two days ago it was fine

Infected?: You shouldn't get folliculitis on the head of your penis. Folliculitis is an infection of hair follicles and there are no hair follicles there. So the sores you had there, and now the swelling that is spreading down the shaft makes me concerned that you might have an infection. Suggest you see your doctor as soon as possible.
