I've got a sore red spot on the head of my penis, and I can mostly see it when I pull the foreskin back. I've been using a ring guard, but it's healing really slowly. Any suggestions on what medicine I can use to speed up the healing? I'm starting to worry a bit.

View allMy foreskin doesn't retract properly do I need to get circumcised before getting married? What are my options?
No, you don't need to get circumcised before marriage just because your foreskin doesn't retract properly. This condition, called phimosis, is not a medical emergency or a requirement for marriage. However, if phimosis causes pain, discomfort, or other issues, it's a good idea to talk to a doctor about treatment options. These options can include steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, or, in some cases, circumcision.

I've been having frequent urination issues and a CT scan showed a 10x3.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 2.5 mm one in my left kidney. Can homeopathy help dissolve these stones and how long would it take or is surgery the only option? Also, could these stones cause kidney damage if they don't pass right away?
in person dr consultation requred to check physical examination.
