Botched circumcision
Hi. I was thinking of going to see a urologist, but kind of intimidated to do so,
Anyways, When I was younger I didnt get the best cirumcision and it left scars underneath where my frenelum would be. Its also discoloration like a brown. It looks like the skin is bridged almost but not attached to the head of the penis. Its just the shaft that is scarred.
On the front side of the shaft right below the head it feels kind of different touching rather then below where the skin isnt scared. Its almost like the skin was cut to close or something. It also leaves my skin hanging a bit when its flaccid.
I dont really mind the side thats underneath of the shaft because its not visible. But I'm wondering if
a) the front side of the shaft right before the penis head has a lot of nerve endings... because it doesnt feel good if I touch there or rub there
b) if there is anything I can do to change the appearence of it.
I dont mind the other side like I said, as... I don't want any other surgeory which could risk me not having any feeling in it.
If there is surgeory or any type of skin restoration please let me know
I have looked everywhere on internet and haven't got any answers. Thanks again

Hi,
Thank you for going into detail about this. I referred to it looking like a scar line but not being scar tissue.
The line indeed runs right from the tip of the foreskin if present to the anus.
I remeber being about 6 years old and asking my parents if this was the result of a surgery that I might have had. They took the time and effort to explain it to me on a level that I was able to understand.
Having grown up in the the Netherlands, extensive sexual education in school was mandetory for all of us.
Having watched this site, I have noticed that a lot of people seem to have a limited understanding of sexuality or terminology of the sexual organs.
I hope that with todays education, things are much more out in the open. There should be no reason as to why 16 year olds have almost no knowledge about their own sexual organs. One example being a male who had not been circumcised. He had no idea that the foreskin was supposed to retract. At 16 years of age, he had never tried to retract his own foreskin. When he finally tried to do so, he was unable to.

Actually, the raphe runs all the way down the scrotum, across the perineum to the anus. It is formed during early fetal development as the urinary opening gradually moves upward, leaving a seam where the skin fuses shut behind it. It's not really a scar - more like a naturally occurring skin tag.
Hi,
I'm an uncircumcised guy, the line that runs from the penis to the scrotum is called the raph. All males have this line and it is not abnormal.
When cold this line is a lot more visable than when at room temperature or higher.
This line can be seen if you lift the penis and look at the area that would normaly not be seen. As you lift it you can see this line run from just below the glans to the scrotum. In the case of an uncircumcised male, this line runs from the very tip of the foreskin to the scrotum. It almost looks like a scar line.
All the best.

also, are there any other ways besides surgery? because i realized what i have isn't a skin bridge because there is nothing on the head, it's mainly the underside of the shaft that i am worried about, i have actually thought about, what if i were to do something really painful, (i.e: get rugburn, blister) to scab it up so it would heal regulary

is there supposed to be a verticle line down the middle of the scrotum? and if so, is it suppossed to extend all the way up the shaft? like ive said im kibda independent in my life and i dont have anyone to talk to so i dont know whats right and wrong, is my penis ok, and my line isnt straight? or do i have a huge scar that's gunna freak out any girls i bring home

Hello,
I can understand your concern for these symptoms. Our skin ahs many superficial and other nerves and nerve endings and penile skin is no exception. The glans has plenty of such nerve endings. From what you have mentioned, the skin restoration can be done only by means of a plastic surgery and there is no topical or oral treatment available for this.
I suggest you to consult a good plastic surgeon and get it evaluated.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

i have the browness also, for a small area i have a scarrish thing starting around the circumfrence where the foreskin wouldve been it looks as if someone left a few bite marks on my ****. lastly, i have what i think is a skin bridge that extends from the bottom of my scrotum a fades at the head it looks as if it is angled on the scrotum and when it was on the shaft it tried to correct itself by takin a sharp turn so it is crooked all the way up
