Foreskin scale: sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands of the foreskin.
A certain amount of sebaceous glands are distributed under the skin of the inner surface of the penis foreskin and the junction of the penis head
Some glands constantly secrete some light yellow oily substances, which are mixed with some dirt and urine from the skin. Over time, they become thicker and thicker, and can become flakes or small pieces, and tightly adhere to the skin of this part, which is foreskin scale.
Hazards of foreskin scale
The foreskin scale is a chemical carcinogen. Many experiments have confirmed that it has a strong carcinogenic effect. For example, inoculation of the foreskin scale of horses into mice can cause skin malignant tumors. Inoculating mice with human foreskin scale can also induce cervical cancer in female mice. Modern medicine has confirmed that the specific hazards of foreskin scaling are as follows:
Direct stimulation of the head of the penis can induce penis cancer.
The foreskin and penis head are often inflamed, and long-term inflammatory stimulation will cause local tissue cell degeneration and deterioration of the penis.
A bad environment at the head of the penis can induce many precancerous lesions of penis cancer, such as penis angle, papilloma of the penis, condyloma acuminatum, leukoplakia of the penis, proliferative erythema of the penis, etc. Such lesions are easily transformed into penis cancer.
Cleaning method of foreskin scale
1. When cleaning the scale on the foreskin, because the inner plate of the foreskin is thinner and wetter than the outer plate, and is sensitive to chemical cleaners, irritant detergents can not be used, just wash with water. Soap and shower gel with mild nature can also be used.
2. To clean the foreskin scale, the foreskin should be able to turn up and reach the coronary groove. If the adhesion is serious and cannot be overturned, it is necessary to separate the foreskin with a ball probe in the hospital until the foreskin is completely overturned, expose the glans and frenulum, peel off the foreskin scale or stone, and then wash with normal saline.
3. Turn over the foreskin. Usually, just pay attention to turning it over and wash the coronal groove of the foreskin with clean water. The prepuce should not be too frequent, because the prepuce skin is tender and too much friction will lead to the damage of the prepuce skin.
