This has never happened to me before. I am a 30 year old circumcised male and the skin under the head has suddenly swollen really badly. It has reddened, and the swollen parts look like they have some water in them. I'm a bit scared. |

Dear Adi Although Paraphimosis is rare in circumcised male but please get yourself examined physically by a doctor as it looks like Paraphimosis, which is usually caused by well-meaning medical professionals or parents who handle the foreskin improperly. The foreskin may be retracted during penile examination, penile cleaning, urethral catheterization, or cystoscopy; if the foreskin is left retracted for a long period, some of the foreskin tissue may become edematous and swollen with fluid, which makes subsequent reduction of the foreskin difficult.
