Brief Answer:
Following additional information is required first...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern

I need to have a few more details regarding your actual health problems:
- since when did you notice the discoloration?
- do you have the habit of frequently masturbating?
- history of hard/ dry sexual habits?
- any medication used recently orally or locally?

I need to exclude all these factors first before determining the final diagnosis.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Changes in your sexual habits advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

I was able to see the picture, that's why I asked for additional information.

Ok then, your new data is confirming what I suspected since beginning: hard sexual habits like frequent masturbation and hard sex are the causes to discoloration.

Nothing worrisome, just calm down and try to make a break.

Do not use hard robes for rubbing hard while masturbating. Avoid hard sex for a while and see the progress. I'm sure the skin will get back to normal again after a few days.
