After [[circumcision]], the residual [[mucosa]] is found between the [[circumcision scar]] and the [[glans penis]]. The [[mucosa]] is no longer moisturized by [[transudation]] from the [[foreskin]] and becomes desiccated and [[Keratinization|keratinized]]. Non-surgical [[foreskin restoration]] helps the mucosa to return to normal by [[dekeratinization]].
