The '''preputial mucosa''' of the [[penis]] is the epithelium of the inside of the prepuce, or [[foreskin]]. To differentiate it from the cutaneous [[skin]] of the outside of the [[Foreskin|prepuce]], it is sometimes referred to as the '''inner mucosa'''. It starts at the mucocutaneous junction at the tip of the [[Foreskin|prepuce]] and continues to the coronal sulcus (groove behind the [[glans penis]]), where it meets the epithelium of the glans and penile shaft.<ref name="cold-taylor1999">{{ColdCJ TaylorJR 1999}}</ref> The preputial mucosa is devoid of hair, as is the cutaneous surface.<ref name="taylor1996">{{TaylorJR LockwoodAP TaylorAJ 1996}}</ref> The preputial mucosa is richly endowed with [[Meissner's corpuscles]].<ref name="garcía-mesa2021">{{REFjournal
