What Does Black Patching Of Skin On Penis Indicate?
Hello. I haven t noticed this before, but there are these black patching of skin between the glans and foreskin of the penis; in that empty, circular area. I have recently been able to peel the patching off, but I am a bit concerned. Is this normal?
