Suggest Ways To Regrow The Foreskin
Hello,
I was looking at ways to regrow my foreskin and was wondering if i had a small subdermal tissue expander device placed underneath the skin of my penile shaft, would it grow extra skin like they do on other parts of the body? Any other suggestion would be appreciated.

Hello,
Tissue expansion can help grow the foreskin, many researches are being done on that. Some strange devices may help but may take time. It is not only about regrowth of the skin but getting back the sensitivity of the nerves after circumcision also. It will take a lot of time.
It does not look impossible but will require patience and your treating doctors interest. One may have to go through multiple surgeries, post operative follow ups, your body's response to the treatment, healing or complications. Anyways, all the best but do not try it without a doctors help, you may need urgent medical aid sometimes.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
