Prepuce

In anatomy, the prepuce is a retractable piece of skin which covers part of the genitals.

Note: For historical and cultural reasons, there are two articles on the male and female human prepuce, respectively. Please see the talk page for a discussion of this topic.

This article should only contain material about the prepuce which is common to both sexes.

• On a male, this covers the head of the penis (the glans penis). See foreskin.
• On a female, it surrounds and protects the clitoris. See clitoral hood.
