A skin bridge is a penile skin adhesion. It most commonly occurs as a consequence of an improperly healed circumcision, being formed when the inner lining of the remaining foreskin attaches to another part of the penis (normally the glans) as the cut heals.[1] While less common, skin bridges can also occur in uncircumcised men[2] due to difficulty of cleaning, resulting in buildups of smegma underneath wide skin bridges, but this is typically a minor inconvenience and does not lead to further issues.[3] However, in more severe cases, this condition can result in painful erections, sometimes requiring surgical correction.[4]
