Glans penis: Difference between revisions

Line 125:

Some men have reported that, after the glans penis is covered by a restored foreskin, they experienced a peeling of a layer of [[keratin]] similar to the peeling that occurs after sunburn, however that is only the beginning of restoration of the glans penis.

As [[foreskin restoration]] proceeds and more foreskin is available, the [[restored foreskin]] will start to reside over the glans penis and the glans penis ~~will be~~ bathed with oil and moisture by [[transudation]] in a manner similar to an [[intact]] [[penis]]. Over a period of several years, [[dekeratinization]] will continue and the glans will become softer, glossier, and more sensitive. There usually will be a return to more normal color. ~~It is difficult to~~ say how long this process will take due to a lack of data.

Excessive washing of the restored [[preputial sac]] should be avoided.<ref name="birley1993">{{REFjournal
