Hello,

Thanks for your query. You reported that you have undergone circumcision and excess skin was excised resulting into hairy skin on the shaft up to coronal sulcus.

This can be corrected only by skin grafting using hair free skin from the non-hairy part of the body.
Please consult qualified Plastic Surgeon for evaluation and further treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions I shall be happy to help you.

Regards
Dr.Patil
