Brief Answer:
Looks like local fibrosis has occurred.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Its looks like local fibrosis has replaced the spot of scar, normal skin won't grow back at this spot.But the fibrotic tissue in this place won't let the cut open up.

Its common to get such shiny and thin tissue in the places of cuts.It shouldnt be cause of concern, if its not interfering erection.

But do avoid getting cuts in future.

Hope this answers your question.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
