Possibly: but not likely too much if you know this is just a sprain. Put ice on it, elevate, see checklist on sprains.

Last night after masturbating, I noticed my foreskin turned purple. It felt swollen and soft, much like a sprained ankle. This morning the blueness spread but doesnt go around my penis. Is this something i should worry about or is it just sprained?
