# '''Deformed or malformed foreskin'''. A foreskin so deformed or malformed that it does not function properly may be removed by circumcision.

# '''Traumatically injured foreskin'''. A foreskin so traumatically damaged foreskin that cannot be surgically repaired is a valid medical reason for circumcision.

# '''Diseased foreskin.''' A foreskin that is diseased may be a valid indication for circumcision. Some diseases that qualify are malignancy, lichen sclerosis, [[Balanitis#Diabetic_males| yeast infection in men with diabetes]], and recurrent [[balanoposthitis]].

The [[foreskin]] evolved to protect the [[penis]] from injury and [[infection]], so the [[foreskinned]] penis actually is normally quite healthy.<ref>{{FleissP HodgesF VanHoweRS 1998}}</ref>
