Is Keratinization due to exposure to air or rubbing against objects?

[tonymisheree]

I am uncircumcised, have hypersensitive glans and recently has Candida Balanoposthitis. I saw some people posted that they still have sensitivity even after years of circumcision. I am thinking of retracting foreskin during night time so that it will be comparatively easier if I have to undergo circumcision due to the fungus. Will it help?

If it is due to rubbing, does it have to be done frequently; otherwise after 40 years, I must have touched/rubbed so many times at least more than that can be done exposing continuously in a month or two?

Well, im junior to you consider, your age to my mine senior. Yet, once Keratinization took place there is no way to undo it. So it make no sense when guys who says their glans are still exposed and rubbed constantly but got returned their hypersensitivity. I used to retract my foreskin during my school days. 4 years ago I simply opt to get circumcised for orgasmic reason as well as cosmetic reason. With my experience, I would say that the sensitivity will not returned but there is possibilities where men may get returned their sensitivity, as if they constantly edge it for sexual purpose, my circumcised friend told me this! So I think it's on person rather physically, yet need to see if it is possible clinically.

Sensitivity will reduce with touch and exposure but Keratinization is not inevitable.

I used bio oil when first cut then moved on to daily cocoa butter to help keep things soft.
