Look for hair: Look for long hair from mom or other care giver which could act as a tourniquet . Remove it if so. Also be sure the diapers are not so tight as to bend the penis and block circulation. Leave a diaper off for a few hours and all swelling may go away. If none of the above works, go to pediatrician or ER . Also is there an older child who may have been exploring this male sibling?
