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 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.
