a little while after getting a hand job i noticed that the skin on the shaft was swollen it doesn't hurt or sting or anything it is a little bit harder to get an erection but i still can it looks weird the head of my penis is fine but the shaft is swollen i put a cold pack on it for a couple minutes and it wasn't as swollen nut still is a little bit but i would like to know if its serious or not and if it will just go away if i don't do anything for a week or 2
the swelling is almost completely gone i was freaked out for a while because nothing weird has ever happened to me like that before.

Hello,
Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but this swelling can be due to friction rub or chaffing. Chafing is a continuous rubbing of the skin that causes redness or soreness.
Chafing occurs when the skin becomes irritated by the friction caused by rubbing – either against other skin or against a foreign material. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin.Also wear cotton undergarments.Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful.If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist
I sincerely hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.
