Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves removing the foreskin of the penis, either partially or completely.
Men who are uncircumcised must take special care of the foreskin, the loose skin that covers the tip of the penis.
A man should wash his penis with warm water every day. While washing, he should gently pull back the foreskin and rinse the glans (head) of the penis and inside the foreskin. When finished, he can pull the foreskin back to its original position. He should also wash the base the penis and the testicles.
