|title=A botched circumcision and its aftermath

|quote=After the infection had subsided, the shaft of my [[penis]] was crowded by a skyline of redundant [[foreskin]] that included, on the underside, a thick attachment of skin stretching from the head to the shaft of the genital, a result of improper healing that is called a [[skin bridge]]. A small gap could be seen between this skin bridge and the penis proper.
