Brief Answer:
It could be Paraphimosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Please provide more details about your symptoms like exact location of the swelling, etc.

It could be Paraphimosis especially if you had a tight foreskin then it is most likely. What happens when the tight foreskin is retracted behind the glans or tip of penis during masturbation and is left like that without bringing the skin back on top of the glans the foreskin swells up with Fluid. You should go to the ER or see a Surgeon at the earliest. The foreskin will have to be retracted back soonest otherwise it can lead to cut off of blood supply and change in colour of the tip. You can try it yourself by applying a cold pack followed by trying to pull the foreskin ahead using some moisturising gel. But it would be better done by a Professional.

Request to get it done at the earliest.

Take care and do let us know if there are any other queries that you have.

It is good of it is not Paraphimosis. I can tell with certainty only if I can examine it. Or you could upload a photograph which can help us decide what it is.

Brief Answer:
Need to see the glans to be sure that all is ok.

Detailed Answer:
Hello. These appear normal to me with mild swelling. What is the condition of the glans? You should retract the foreskin and take picture of the glans penis. If that is normal then there is nothing to worry about. But you should give it rest for a few days in either case.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Better to get examined by a Professional.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
It seems fine to me. But cant rule out any injury to minor vessels or muscles. It would be better to show yourself to your GP or a Surgeon. They will try to see the glans and palpate the penis for any abnormality.
Apply cool compresses till then.
Take care.
