Wrinkly foreskin, what happens after adult circumcision


Penises and their foreskins come in all shapes and sizes.  The foreskin has 2 surfaces an inner or mucosal skin and an outer of epidermal skin.  The inner, in situations where there is not a lot of exposure to the outside world, may take on a wrinkled, smooth slightly moist glistening appearance,

A circumcision in its simplest form is really about removing a large portion of the foreskin, usually some from each side, and reconstituting the edges so when healed the skin does not lie on the head of the penis.

Still in that most always some inner skin remains what to do.  Needless to say, this has to be discussed with the patient beforehand.  More could be removed but what remains is still wrinkly.  One could remove a strip from the underside of the inner skin where a fine scar would be least seen. 

All in a days work, but conferencing beforehand with the patient is most important.
