Cause Of Skin Discoloration On Penis Shaft And Scrotum?

hi Thankyou I am a 56 year old extremely healthy male. All of a sudden I started to develop skin discolouration on my penis shaft and also scotum sack. It is a darkish colour and looks sort oof identical to a giraffes body colouring (patchy) Gosh I would love to know what reason- it has never happened before- It developed 4 months ago - and does not seem to be fading back to normal, thanks heaps.

Hello
I really appreciate your concern
Looking at your description this could be suggestive of STI, other infection or an allergic reaction or may be penile cancer (very rare)

I would like further information to help you better
relevant medical history like diabetes or history of unprotected sex?
Are you having any kind of discharge
Since how long you have this problem

In my opinion you should keep it clean and apply antiseptic ointment
If it gets worsen or doesn't improve than you should consult your doctor for physical check up and detailed evaluation

Maintain good hygiene
use condoms during sex until it heals completely

Hope this answers your question
if you have any more doubts please feel free to write back to me, I will be happy to help you
Best wishes
