The perineal raphe is a small, vertical, slightly raised ridge of [[scrotal skin]] under which is found the scrotal septum. It appears as a thin longitudinal line that runs front to back over the entire [[scrotum]]. In humans and some other mammals the [[scrotum]] becomes covered with pubic hair at puberty. | The perineal raphe is a small, vertical, slightly raised ridge of [[scrotal skin]] under which is found the scrotal septum.
