In infants and young children, this condition may occur as a result of doctors, parents or caretakers [[forced retraction|forcibly retracting]] the foreskin of a child's penis. It may also occur in older males as a result of forcible retraction of a foreskin whose orifice has not yet dilated enough to allow the [[glans penis|glans]] through.
