I've been having some issues with my penile foreskinits really dry and cracked lately, and it hurts whenever I try to pull it up. A few days ago, I noticed red spots on the head of my penis, and it was really itchy. I tried using Dettol and warm water, which helped for a bit, but it's not a permanent fix. What might be causing this, and what should I do?

I have a 4.2mm and 4.5mm kidney stone in my left kidney with hydronephrosis and calyceal separation of 9mm. My prevoid volume is 289cc and PVR is 20cc which they say is insignificant. Can you explain what the 9mm and 20cc measurements mean? Do I need surgery for this or can it be treated with medication?

The 9mm refers to hydronephrosis severity, and 20cc PVR is normal; stones this size often pass or dissolve with meds.
