Swelling could be due to infection of the penile head or the prepuce. Is the baby passing urine adequately, is there any burning micturition, were you able to retract the skin before these are some questions to be answered.

Please do not apply steroid cream as advised by other doctor. It will increase infection in long run. Consult paediatrician properly
