My month-old kitten's anus looks swollen. Is it normal or serious?

Question

Month old kittens anus appears swollen. Color is normal and Duck is still very playful and energetic. He's eating well and gaining weight like he should. Is it just irritated from having to help him poo (found him abandoned at about 12 days old) will the swelling go down? Or is this normal? It's been a couple decades since I've had a kitten so young. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 14 days old | 1lb

It will go down one the stools become normal, i suspect at the moment he is suffering from diarrhea and this is why the anus looks like that, once the stools become normal again the anus will recover.
