'''Dekeratinization{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is the name given to the process by which previously keratinized tissue loses its protective coating of [[keratin]].

Dekeratinization typically occurs on '''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' has not been formally studied by medical science, so evidence is anecdotal and comes from the surface of the [[glans penis]] of a circumcised male after [[foreskin restoration]] is effected. Some men report that a thin layer of keratin similar to onion [[skin]] peeled off of their glans penis. Dekeratization seems to occur naturally after the glans penis is recovered by a restored [[foreskin]] that protects the glans penis physically from friction and other irritation while maintaining a moist, oily environment for the glans penis by [[transudation]]community.

'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' typically occurs on the surface of the [[glans penis]], which is covered with [[mucosa]], not [[skin]], of a [[circumcised]] male after [[foreskin restoration]] is effected. The layer of [[keratin]] typically will slough off of the [[glans penis]]. Some men report that a thin layer of [[keratin]] similar to onion [[skin]] peeled off of their glans penis.  Dekeratization seems to occur naturally and progressively after the [[glans penis]] is recovered by a [[restored foreskin]] that protects the glans penis physically from friction and other irritation while maintaining a moist, oily environment for the glans penis by [[transudation]]. Anecdotal evidence suggests that dekeratinization occurs gradually over a period of several years. Dekeratization usually results in an increase in sensation from in the previously keratinized tissue. In addition, the cracks that occur in the [[keratin]] will also disappear with the keratin. The [[glans penis]] usually feels softer and may change color after the loss of the [[keratin]].
