It sounds like you're dealing with a couple of challenging conditions. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause outbreaks in various areas, including the genital region. As for Bell's palsy, while it's typically a one-time occurrence, some people may experience it again, but the risk is low. I recommend following your doctor's guidance on managing both conditions and staying informed about any recurrence signs.

it's been 6 days since my circumcision but there's still swelling and a ring-like thing around the penis head - how long until everything looks normal again

Proper healing can take several weeks. In the initial days after circumcision, the skin around the penis may appear red and swollen. As healing takes place, redness will fade and swelling will subside. Likewise, any scar tissue that's raised or bumpy in the first days and weeks after the surgery should shrink.
