What Causes Recurring Swelling On Penis Post Tick Removal?
My son had a tick on his penis about a month ago. We went to a clinic and they confirmed that it was removed and the swelling went down with benadryl and ice after 2-3 days. It is now swelling again. We can get it to go down with Benadryl. Any suggestions or insights on why this is swelling again?

Hello,
The swelling seems to be related to an infection.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen.
If the symptoms continue I suggest seeing your doctor for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
