hi.
noted history of swelling around the genitalia. the swelling or inflammation may be caused by folliculitis (which usually occurs after shaving or when hair is accidentally pulled out from the area). if it's exposed to dirt, infection may ensue. avoid manipulation/shaving of the affected area temporarily until the swelling subsides. if the symptoms are persistent, a consult with a doctor is best. diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly,
hope this helps.
good day!!
