In males who have been [[circumcised]], the '''circumcision scar''' refers to the scar remaining after a [[circumcision]] has healed. In some cases, the scar can be darker-colored,<refname="tirana2022">{{REFjournal

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 [[adolescent and 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.
