Brief Answer:
penile skin appears normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and your penile skin seems normal.
The brown lines are small blood vessels that are visible due to thin skin over the penis.
The redness around the head of the penis also seems normal. This much redness can be due to friction associated with masturbation or intercourse.
No need to worry.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
