'''Dekeratinization''' is the name given to the process by which previously keratinized tissue loses its coating of keratin.
Dekeratinization typically occurs on the surface of the [[glans penis]] of a circumcised male after [[foreskin restoration]] is effected. 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 glan glans penis by [[transudation]].
Dekeratization usually results in an increase in sensation from the previously keratinized tissue.
