I'm really worried about some issues I've been having recently. About a month and a half ago, I noticed my penis was itching and there was redness, a rash, and accumulated smegma. I'm uncircumcised and after searching online, I thought it might be balanitis. I've been applying coconut oil daily on my foreskin for over a month now, and while the rash, redness, and itchiness have gone, I've still got some cracks and cuts on the tip of my foreskin. I wash it daily, but for the past two weeks, there's been dry skin forming around the foreskin every day, even though I clean it regularly. On top of that, I recently had a really hard stool and now my anus is itchy and swollen. I used coconut oil for the itch, which helped, but the swelling is still there. I'm not sure what's going on with my penis and anus. Should I be washing off this dry skin that forms daily? Also, which type of doctor should I consult for these issues? Are there any home remedies you can suggest to help with these cuts and cracks? I'm really concerned and would appreciate any advice.

Your symptoms may be caused due to dehydration. Increase your fluid intake on a daily basis and improve your genital hygiene by drying yourself well after each wash. Use non-irritant moisturisers and if the problem exacerbates, you should consider visiting a dermatologist.

I have a 9.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 4.5 mm one in the left can these pass naturally or do I need meds to help break them down? Really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.
Stones under 5 mm often pass naturally; 9.5 mm may need lithotripsy or stenting. Hydration, tamsulosin, and pain control are important until reviewed by a urologist.

I had right inguinal hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh on the right side about 3 months ago but I'm still having pain in the areas marked with green dots in the photo I attached - is this normal or should I be concerned about the pain continuing this long after surgery
While some pain after hernia and varicocele surgery is normal, persistent pain three months post-surgery, especially in the areas marked in your photo, should be evaluated by your doctor. Though pain can persist for a few months, lasting pain beyond that is considered chronic and may indicate complications like nerve damage or inflammation.
