unusual raphe line or is it a scar?
more of a curiosity then a concern but as long as i can remember ive always had a scar or so i thought running the length the shaft of my penis, recently ive been wondering what it was after doing some research on the internet i discovered this might be my raphe line, how ever if it is it has a very unusual shape.
firstly i am uncircumcised, when i peel back my fore skin there is a thread of skin that runs from my maetus and seems to flow into my raphe line(?) but as soon as the line comes to my scrotum it v's one part takes a sharp left turn and kind of dead ends, the other takes a slight right and continues down my scrotum and about an inch later it v's again this time it branches right and the other continues down. the portion that branches right starts to travel back up my scrotum and the other portion continues straight down my scrotum uninterrupted for the most part.
i know its kind of weird, but im being serious, from what i read on how the raphe line forms it kinda seems odd that it should split off 2 times like that so if you would, i'm looking for any input on weather that is or isnt normal. oh yeah the skin formation around the first split is kinda weird under the v portion there is kind of a hole in the skin, well its kind of like a pit also the area where it branches the line is especially thick.
anyways any input is appreciated, i kinda feel embarrassed asking about this but just wanted some peace of mind on the matter, oh yeah probably should have been mentioned at the begining, ive had this formation ever since i can remember or at least to say was conscious of my penis as something used for more then urinating.
