My son had a circumcision as He had phimosis. He is 5 years n 11 months. He had the surgery 12 days back yet the swelling is not gone. Spoke to the surgeon. He said it will go by 3 weeks. Does it take that long or shall I consult someone else? Stitches seems to heal but the incision can be seen though. Swelling near the incision n underneath. Looks like a ball on filled with water.
