8 week old baby boy. noticed this afternoon that he had some swelling on the left side of penis. underneath the head. cleaned area very well but swelling has not gone away. it has gone down though. he was circumcised before he was a month old?

Scar tissue from the circumcision can persist as the body heals for several months. Bring this swelling to the attention of the child's Pediatrician so that they can visually inspect it and ensure that there is no cause for alarm.

Please let your Pediatrician know and watch for signs of infection.
