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

Dekeratinization typically occurs on the surface of '''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' has not been formally studied by medical science, so evidence is anecdotal and comes from the [[glans penis]] 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 peniscommunity.

'''{{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.
