Transudation is passage of serum or other body fluid through a membrane or tissue surface.[1]
The foreskin of the human penis keeps the glans penis moist by transudation.[2] The tissue inside the foreskin is mucosa, which likes to be moist.
Excessive washing removes oils and can cause non-specific dermatitis that may be mistaken for balanitis. Use of soap, body wash, and shampoo on the tissue inside the foreskin should be avoided.[3]
