Brief Answer:
It will take some time for the area to get desensitised
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Let me address the issues one by one:
1) The glans of the penis (the swollen front part) is a very sensitive part. Circumcision has left it exposed and you are yet to get habituated. The nerve endings therefore can get stimulated thus triggering a sharp pain reaction. You need not worry. You need to give it some time for desensitisation to occur.
2) Please be patient. It may take some time. In the meantime apply some antibiotic powder or ointment like Neosporin.
3) It could be due to a fungal infection. Apply Candid (clotrimazole) powder or lotion topically.
4) It will take a few weeks for the sensations to normalise and for the healing to occur. However, you can resume your normal activities immediately. You just need to be a bit cautious.
Regards
