To default6789:

Scars can change over time -- lighter or darker -- so it's nothing to be concerned about.

To: cirus:

My guess is that the two "piercings" are skin bridges. They are an indirect result of infant circumcision but that doesn't mean the circ. was flawed. They form during the post-operative period and are more common for a "loose" cut as opposed to a "tight" cut. Sometimes the remnant foreskin and glans will form an adhesion. In the post-operative period, parents are sometimes advised to put Vaseline on the glans as a prophylaxis against skin adhesions. Maybe that wasn't done?

They are uncommon but not particularly rare.

As previously mentioned, more surgery [more cutting] is the proscribed remedy.
