HELP. First time mum and my 4 month old seems to have a scar on his penis!? Anyone know if this is normal?

Hiya everyone,

I was just giving my little boy (4 months old) a bath and noticed that he seems to have a line which starts at the base to the tip of his penis which looks like a scar... The skin appears darker like a scar would?! He doesn't seem to be in any discomfort when I touched it or when I'm changing his nappy.

I'm a first time mum so I'm not sure if this is how his penis is supposed to look?? I can't seem to find anything on the internet to help me out.

Hope someone can help me!

It's normal. Is it on the underside?

Agree, sounds normal to me. (2 ds but a long time ago!)

normal.

Hi Sam, totally normal. When our DDs first saw the line, they commented it must be where God zipped up their baby brother!!

Enjoy your little one

Thank you everyone it's put my mind at ease, I've not noticed it before so it worried me!!! Sorry if I sound dumb but why exactly has the line appeared? Xx

It's called the 'penile raphe'. It's just where the body joins while in utero. (Gotta love google)

normal.
stop googling baby boys penises now

Hahaha I've had to explain to my bf that I do have a reason for searching all these crazy things on google! Xx

Totally, totally normal!

My ex apparently worried until his late teens that he was disfigured due to this. He was so relieved to discover it is normal.
