Q: what effects, if any, could result from frequent skin exposure to urine? frequent, as defined by contact with the foreskin during every urination?

: Little of any importance. The skin is designed to be tolerant to many exposures. If the urine is trapped or it remains moist in the area involved it can be irritating. The urine is not absorbed by the skin.
