What is wrong with a child’s penis that looks short?

Some children have a short penis on the surface, and the skin of the penis looks like a bird’s beak wrapped around the penis, and the outer opening of the foreskin is very close to the root of the penis. This condition is medically known as “occult penis”. If it is misdiagnosed as “circumcision”, it will not improve the appearance of the penis, but will make the skin of the penis too short. In our treatment experience, it is not necessary to remove the skin of the penis after the penile body is loosened and fixed in this type of children. If a child is obese and has thick subcutaneous fat on the abdominal wall, scrotum, perineum or legs, he or she is considered to have hypertrophy.
