I've had an enlarged scrotum since childhood and suspect it might be hydrocele. I'm considering surgery but worried it could affect my chances of joining the navy since that's my career goal. Can you advise if hydrocele surgery would disqualify me or if there are other treatment options that wouldn't impact my navy eligibility?

I'm a bit worried about something that happened after my circumcision about 45 days ago. The skin on my penis glans has become really dry, and I notice peeling and flaking, especially in the mornings when I wake up. It seems to get better after I take a bath.
