Cicatrix

A cicatrix is a scar resulting from "the healing of a wound, such as one caused by injury, illness, smallpox vaccination, or surgery." Scar tissue is formed by dense masses of granulation tissue.

All circumcision operations leave a scar. The circumcision scar is noted for the unique way in which dissimilar tissue is mated at the scar. There usually is a unnatural visible texture and color change because skin on the proximal side is fused with mucosa on the distal side.
