Answers:

It's hard to say as it could be from many things. It could be a birthmark or it could be a raphe (basically the line along where your penis closed as an embryo).

But from the sound of it, it's most likely the result of some injury you had a long time ago or some minor operation. If it's not embarrassing or anything, you could ask your parents or doctor if they know what it is.

In any case, if it's not bothering you it's not worth worrying about it.
