Do all circ'ed men...

[BlessedMommy2006]

have differences in color pigmentation on their shaft? Or is that a sign that something went wrong beyond the normal?

[Greg B]

There seems to be a lot of variation in color from one man to the next, whether circumcised or not. At least form what I have seen and read. Could you be more specific? Feel free to pm if you would prefer.

Do you mean there's a line - and above that line the shaft is one colour and below the line the shaft is a different colour? It may or may not only be visible when erect?

If so, (based on my limited experience) that line would be the circ/scar line and the difference in skin pigment is because it is different skin (tougher shaft skin versus more delicate, formerly internal foreskin).

Is that what you meant?

Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

The circ'd males in my house have it, too.

I don't know, but on all the men I've seen that are I can tell where the scar is. I actually informed one of them.

Well it does greatly depend on the individual. As you suggested, there is a surprising level of color variation. (like natures iMac, comes in a whole swash of colors)

But generally there is some color variation on the shaft, and the difference is due to the inner and outer foreskin. Think about how the color right on the inside of your lips is different then the color right on the outside. Its the same kind of thing.

Personally, the color difference between my shaft vs. inner foreskin skin is not that dramatically different, and you have look closely to see the line difference. But you will find this color difference in guys that have, and have not been circumcised.

Circumcised men have a line in between the inner mucosal and outer penile skin where the cut was made.Intact men's mucosal and outer skin blend together seamlessly but you can still tell where one ends and the other begins.The more inner skin removed the less variation you will see and if something more drastic has happened like a skin graft there will be even more variations.

I dont know, I have seen some pictures of intact penises that have pretty stark contrast between the inner and outer foreskin.

the circed man in my life has a colour change line. DS doesn't retract, but I have seen it on an erect intact man. its like trying to find a string in a sleeve if its not erect. too much skin and too wiggily to really see a difference


there is also that skin disease that Michael Jackson claimed to have and it can effect the skin on your penis too.

OK, if it is the scar line, where on the shaft it lies depends upon how the cricumcision was done. Sometimes a lot of inner skin is left and the scar appears down toward the middle of the shaft. In other cases, there was little inner skin left, and there is no real noticeable change in shaft skin because the scar line is just under the glans.

In my intact husband there is a difference but it is more gradual and not really a line but you can tell the difference in skin tone.

That's what I've noticed,the skin just seems to blend together and doesn't have the distinct separation of the inner/outer.I've also noticed alot of circumcised men have a dark line just behind the scar area on the outer skin kind of like a "dip" in the skin or a tightness in that spot and in most cases intact penises just look healthier.

Weird, I have never noticed that dip and darkening ring behind the scar. Has anyone else ever seen what she is talking about? What kind of circumcision procedure creates this effect?

I would not say intact penises by default look "healthier" but I would say they look unaltered. But now were just talking about personal opinion.

this...
DH scar is there the color change on him is much less noticeable, but you can still see a change.

What I mean by healthier is smoother and not just the glans but the whole shaft.I do not know what type of circ. causes the line but I have it too.

I have never seen a circ penis but in all the intact ones i have seen there is definetelly a color difference the shaft is pinker

Yes, I've seen it more than a few times.

No idea what type of circ would cause it but lets just say the ones I've seen belong to men now in their mid-30's to late 40's - so whatever kind was done back then.

Me and all of my friends have this and I am 35 and they are all 30-40 yrs. old.

Interesting. I have never noticed any guy in my age range (teens to twenties) with that type of circumcision. The only thing that I see "in common" with circs in my generation is they tend to be looser.
