Dekeratinization is the name given to the process by which previously keratinized tissue loses its protective coating of keratin.
Dekeratinization typically occurs on the surface of the glans penis of a circumcised male after foreskin restoration is effected. The layer of keratin typically will slough off of the glans penis. Some men report that a thin layer of keratin similar to onion skin peeled off of their glans penis.
Dekeratization seems to occur naturally after the glans penis is recovered by a restored foreskin that protects the glans penis physically from friction and other irritation while maintaining a moist, oily environment for the glans penis by transudation. Anecdotal evidence suggests that dekeratinization occurs gradually over a period of several years.
Dekeratization usually results in an increase in sensation in the previously keratinized tissue. In addition, the cracks that occur in the keratin will also disappear with the keratin. The glans penis usually feels softer and may change color after the loss of the keratin.
