That doesn't sound like a scar. It sounds like the raphe, the line left in the womb as your genitals formed. Every male has one. It stops at the circumcision line if you are cut but goes to the end of the underside of the foreskin if you are intact.

honestly, its from the surgery. They didnt cut your genitals, but as you grew the scar moved. No biggie

When I was a baby I had some skin taken from my rear and used to patch up my leg. The scars on my butt moved up to the middle of my back so it doesnt surprise me.

It shouldn't be awkward.. email me brother since I am a bit confused about where the scar is..

My wife, 2 sisters and mom are nurses and I have had just about every embarrassing med procedure possible so nothing bothers me...

Seriously about emailing me.. How old are you? most surgeries within the past 30-40 years wouldn't leave a scar like that.. There is also basically a line that runs on the underside of it from the head all the way down between the balls which can be more prominent in some people so it might be nothing at all..

I had hernia surgury when I was 1 year old and theres no scar at all.
