I've been circumcised for about a month now and I'm wondering if it's okay to use aloe vera gel on the wound. Does it help speed up healing or reduce scarring? Or is there a better gel or cream I should consider for a circumcised wound?

I've been feeling some mild pain in my lower abdomen, around the groin area, and just above my penis. The weird thing is, it seems to ease up when I pass gas and there's just a lot of gas happening. I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with renal stones a couple of months ago. Could this be related to those stones, or is it something else?
Chest Pain, Headache, and Digestive Issues _Possible causes:_ 1. _Digestive issues_: Consuming milk and curd simultaneously may have caused digestive discomfort. 2. _Acid reflux_: Stomach acid may be flowing back up into the esophagus, causing chest pain and discomfort. 3. _Other possibilities_: Anxiety, stress, or other underlying medical conditions. _Remedy suggestions:_ 1. _Digestive enzymes_: Take digestive enzyme supplements or eat foods rich in enzymes, such as papaya or pineapple. 2. _Avoid simultaneous dairy consumption_: Stop consuming milk and curd together to alleviate digestive discomfort. 3. _Ginger and lemon_: Try ginger tea or add lemon juice to water to help alleviate digestive issues. 4. _Antacids or acid reducers_: If you experience acid reflux symptoms, consider taking antacids or acid reducers. 5. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help with digestion and overall health. 6. _Rest and relaxation_: Prioritize rest and engage in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises. _Consult a doctor:_ 1. _Schedule a follow-up appointment_: Revisit your doctor to discuss your ongoing symptoms and adjust your treatment plan. 2. _Undergo further testing_: Your doctor may recommend additional tests to rule out underlying conditions.

I'm worried about whether I might have Frenulum breve. I can't fully retract my foreskin when my penis is erect, but I can do it when it's semi-erect or flaccid. Is that enough reason to think I have this condition?
-Frenulum breve is when the frenulum (the band under the penis head) is too short, limiting foreskin retraction, especially during an erection. If you can retract it only on a flaccid or semi-erect penis, it could be a sign, but it's best to consult a doc
