For an adult man, this scar usually lies
about 2.5cm (one inch) from the glans or
coronal ridge. The scar is located at the
boundary of the inner foreskin remnant,
which is the portion of the foreskin that
was not removed during circumcision. This
foreskin remnant is mucosa that lies
between the glans and the circumcision
scar. The foreskin remnant can often have
a different color and texture than skin.
It can be pinkish or light-colored, and it
can be covered with keratin to protect it
from a dry environment.
The type of circumcision scar is dependent
on the technique being used. Some
circumcised men have a prominent or uneven
scar, whereas in others it is less
noticeable. There are numerous creams
available which, when applied regularly to
a recent circumcision, can significantly
diminish the visible scar line, sometimes
to the point that it becomes effectively
unobservable except to a medical
professional. The appearance of the scar
can be reduced through the process of
foreskin restoration. A completed
restoration normally results in the
circumcision scar being completely hidden
from view on the inner surface of the
regrown prepuce.
Occasionally, the scar can swell or become
irritated during intercourse. Some men
with significant amounts of scarring have
used cream or silicone scar pads to cause
the scar to fade
