Abstract

The management of foreskin conditions varies amongst medical practitioners from observation to circumcision. A number of conditions may affect the foreskin and may lead to a specialist referral. This chapter deals with common foreskin problems, their etiology and management in primary/emergency care. Indications for referral will be highlighted. Circumcision will be dealt with in another chapter.
