foreskin detachment is the separation of the foreskin from the glan. At birth, the foreskin is attached to the head of the penis (glans). It is attached by a layer of cells. Over time, the foreskin will separate from the head of the penis. This is a natural process and occurs over 5 to 10 years. It slowly loosens up (retracts) a little at a time. Normal erections during childhood cause most of the change by stretching the foreskin. If your boy has a normal urine stream, any foreskin movement is normal. There should be no rush to achieve full retraction. This always occurs on its own by puberty.
