Discoloration on shaft and balls

4 Replies

Hey guys. Any one else around my age have different skin tone colors on their dick and balls. I’m 34 and white. I have darker tans from the normal white skin color on my shaft. Anyone else? I don’t know how to upload a pic but am willing to share for some feedback.

I think it is completely normal for the skin on your penis and scrotum to be darker than the rest of you.

Why? And why am I just noticing all these things now? Lol

It might have been like that since before and its just that you have started noticing these things lately. I wouldn't be worried unless it starts progressing or has any other changes. Do keep a constant watch over the area but don't become anxious. At any point if you are uncomfortable , a dermat doc may be useful . All the best !

It is usual during puberty for your penis and scrotum to become significantly darker than the rest of your body. This is because more melanin (dark pigment) is deposited there to protect the area from sunburn. We don't actually need this extra pigment now that we are usually clothed and live in towns, but it goes right back to our ancestors who roamed the scrub lands naked.
