I have swelling just below the head i my penis on my penis shaft?

Inflammation.: Swelling of the skin around the head of the penis could be a sign of inflammation or even a penile skin infection known as balanitis. I recommend carefully cleaning the foreskin with soapy water, keeping it dry, and having your primary care provider or urologist look at it as soon as you can.
