Proper healing can take several weeks. In the initial days after circumcision, the skin around the penis may appear red and swollen. As healing takes place, redness will fade and swelling will subside. Likewise, any scar tissue that's raised or bumpy in the first days and weeks after the surgery should shrink.

Question

I've been having this throbbing pain in my groin that starts from the lower right side of my abdomen and radiates down to my scrotum. It began with intense lower back pain on the right side, spreading to my thighs and then the groin sometimes it's so bad I can't stand straight. I had hernia surgery in the same spot when I was 6 could this be another hernia or something else?

Question

I'm having some issues with my ball sac; there are a few bumps I've noticed. It started with just one, which I tried to pop, and this hard calcium-like stuff came out, but the bump just got bigger after that. Now Im seeing a few more popping up. Any idea what could be causing this and how I can treat it?
