PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -All boys are born with a foreskin, a layer of skin that covers the shaft and the glans. Some boys are circumcised, and the skin covering the glans is removed. Other boys are not circumcised, leaving skin that covers the tip of the penis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The foreskin and penis of a baby or child do not need any special care. A child’s foreskin should never be pulled back (retracted) by force. During the first few years of life, the foreskin is stuck to the head of the penis by a membrane (called the synechia).

Detailed explanation-3: -The foreskin is the retractable tube of skin that covers and protects the head (glans) of the penis. All healthy boys are born with a foreskin. A guy who has a penis with a foreskin will need to pull it back and wash underneath it in order to prevent secretions from building up and attracting infection.

Detailed explanation-4: -At birth, most boys have a sleeve of skin covering the end of the penis. This protective sleeve is called the foreskin. During a circumcision, this sleeve of skin is cut away, exposing the glans (head) of the penis. Circumcision is sometimes done a few days after birth under local anaesthetic or with no anaesthetic.
