Changes

The scar, which completely encircles the shaft of the [[penis]], is located at the boundary of the [[shaft skin]] and the inner [[foreskin]] remnant, which is the portion of the foreskin that was not removed during circumcision. This foreskin remnant is [[preputial mucosa]] that lies between the glans and the circumcision scar, which results in dissimilar tissue healing together. In adult circumcision part of the [[frenulum]] may remain intact. The foreskin remnant is dried [[mucosa]] and can often have a different color and texture than the rest of the penile [[penile skin]]. It can be pinkish or light-colored, and it typically becomes covered with keratin to protect it from a dry environment. Some circumcision scars result in a marked color difference on the shaft.
