The left over skin over the front of penis may have got contricted and causing pressure on the shaft causing the swelling in the root area. Its a common problem after traditional circumcision. I would suggest you to go to surgeon a get check for constriction, if present get it relieved surgically. You may also apply NEOSPORIN H ointment on the constricted part to get some relieve.
