Hi Keberoxu. Urban myth. McMusket. (A doctor.) Oncological conditions are by definition unorthodox cell growth and spread. It was thought for many years that the loose skin contained tissue that is susceptible to being pre cancerous but it turns out this is not the case. There is a strong suspicion that this myth has been perpetuated by many religious organisations. The term "medical doctors have stated" is generally left to adverts for body lotion, desperately wanting to say "here comes the science!" "Medical doctors" include a few million of us around the world with various degrees of knowledge and learning in many aspects. One way of sorting the wheat from the chaff is the desire for evidence based opinion. Whilst different dermis areas have different levels of probability (your head around the temple and nose for instance) the common cellular makeup of dodgy areas is not shared by foreskin, although you might find research saying otherwise, but the devil is in the detail. A long time since reading up on it but as a public health slave, monitoring incidence of circumcism is an important totem for social approach to health and sadly, religious inspired mutilation of children. (My views are coming out.) Still. Cheap enough. A snip at £150. I wouldn't make a song or dance about it though. Oh, and those baby bells? Ban the bastards now.
