There's no way to know for sure unless you check with a doctor. Botched circumcisions happen all the time and some require additional surgery to correct it. Take him back to his pediatrician or the surgeon who did it.
I wish new moms would take time to research circumcisions and find out that no medical organization in the US or the world recommends routine infant circumcision. It's strictly a cosmetic surgery that is painful and carries risks.

Let's all pray your young son just has a bad scar and nothing more serious. He'll more than likely be okay in the long run but why not just avoid any complications in the future and leave all future sons intact, the way God and Mother Nature designed them?
Good luck to you & your son

This means your son got a tight circumcision. He will probably have tight feeling, uncomfortable to painful erections in his teen years (I knew this pain), when his penis should be attaining its maximum length. The tight skin will restrain the penis growth resulting in a shorter penis. Gradually the pain will subside as the skin stretches and the erectile tissues quit trying to get longer.
Another problem is that the lengthening penis will rob skin from the scrotum, resulting in hair on the shaft of the penis. This will not cause the male much of a problem but his female partner will feel like she is getting bottle brushed.
But the damage is done; there is not a damn thing you can do to fix it now. What could they do, shorten his shaft to match the skin that’s left? This is one of the biggest reasons not to circumcise; the doctors screw up!
It really does matter, it is HIS penis not yours, it is not your decision to make. You may have a legal ability to make this decision but you know you would be upset if someone had ok'd body modifying elective surgery on you.
Some doctors do use a local some still do not. The doctors don't think it is necessary because the little guys are easy to tie down and can't get up and leave or defend themselves anyway. Plus once the cutting begins the boy goes into shock and may even quit crying.
Does it really hurt the baby? If they give him a local that will wear off in a few hours, the pain isn't just during surgery it goes on for at least a week. Have you ever had a fingernail ripped off? The pain goes on and on for days.
Just because the boy can't tell you how bad it is doesn't mean that it is not painful. If you ignore a child's crying long enough they will quit crying, as it is not doing them any good anyway, nobody is making the hurt go away.
The thing is it is such an unneeded pain. The reasons that are used for circumcising are totally false.
If a doctor says circumcision is needed, it is because he/she doesn't know or want to know how to treat an intact penis. He can make more money cutting than he can by prescribing a cream to treat whatever little problem might arise.
More and more little boys are being left intact; those that are cut are going to see that they are missing something. Some day they will look it up and find just what was taken from them, without their consent. Do you want your son to ask, "Why did you have my penis cut? What gave you that right?
I see a lot of females answer these questions, like they have so much experience with what it is like to be circumcised. They have no idea! If her clothing was to grate against her clitoris every day all day, a woman might get the beginnings of an idea. They think it is just a flap of skin; with 240 feet of nerves and 20,000 specialized nerve endings the foreskin is comparable to the female clitoris.
It comes to this; some new mothers are so damn lazy they are willing to have their new baby cut on because somebody said it is easier than cleaning him or teaching him hygiene

I believe its normal. The forskin has to be removed completely, and it starts pretty far back on the penis. Its not removed just from the head.
From all the infant new born boys i remember caring for that sounds about right...
If youre really concerned ask your doctor.

I've heard of circumcisions that were botched. They have to go back and fix it again (which isn't fun for the poor littly guy). If you're concerned then talk to your doctor about it and see what they say.

as long using fact the well-being care provider only bumped off pores and skin it won't remember. in the experience that your unsure examine the bleeding in some days. If it appears like its not therapeutic take the toddler decrease back to the well-being care provider.

I thought the same thing about my son, even after it healed. However by the time he turned one, everything was normal.

While I don't understand your desire to mutilate your son, the penis will likely heal just fine. I shudder to consider the pain you have inflicted on him for a reason that I cannot comprehend.

It is normal. His phallus will function normally after all.
