wikify penile skin
==== Manual stretching ====
The growth and hormonal surge during puberty alter both the size and size ratio of the [[penis]] and penile [[penile skin]] significantly. Also, the first [[masturbation]] aids in the process of [[stretching]] of the [[skin]] and detachment of any remaining childhood fusion. Manual stretching causes [[tissue expansion]] and a wider, retractable foreskin.
If, after that, the [[foreskin]] still remains too tight, resulting in pain during sexual activities, and making genital hygiene difficult, treatment is indicated. The individual should engage in stretching exercises, if needed with the aid of corticosteroid cream, which is available by prescription. Depending on the active substances, success rates of 80-90% have been documented.<ref>{{REFjournal
