I appear to have a Linea Nigra running down from the top of my pubic hair to the waistline. It's a brown line, 1cm in diameter like the description suggests. It's been there as long as I can remember. There's just one problem. I'm not pregnant...pretty damn sure, anyway. So, what does this mean on males? I'm not on any sort of hormone therapy...should I have blood tests done to check my T levels?
Linea nigra or linea negra is a term that is used almost exclusively to describe abdominal pigmentation in pregnant women. There are some teenage guys who also get a dark pigmented line during puberty. Sometimes it is hard to see since most guys also have a line of hair that is in the same area.
The one I have is dark, definitely noticeable, and extends down into my crotch area, where I also have what I guess is just natural discoloration. I'm also in my early twenties...still anything to worry about or am I good?
