possible infection - Men's Health Message Board

I was reading over past messages and was glad to hear that having a line on your penis is a normal thing caused from when the penis was formed, however Im rather worried at the size of my line, should it stick out from the penis as mine does, could it mean that the skin is infected or something, I have taken a snapshot with my ****** and will email it to anyone who isnt sure what im talking about

That line is often the vein that supplies blood to your friend...some are more pronounced than others in either case, nothing to worry about!

after talking to someone the line of mine is becoming quite a mystery and one that I am going to have to sort out with the doctor.

It is not a blood vessel it is infact a line of extruded skin that runs most of the way on the underside of my penis, has anyone ever heard of anything like this

Sounds normal to me. The Penis is made up of several large blood vessels which are in the top of the penis. The urethra lies under these and between these vessels. Around the the urethra is another blood vessel which is more pronounced when erect. It is just normal i would say. If you are unsure, feel free to check it out with your local doctor!

Cheers,
