Can untreated high blood sugar level be the cause of scars or broken skin on male genitals?

No: High blood sugar in and of itself does not cause scars or broken skin. however , Diabetic patients can show chronic skin changes such as thickening or discoloration. Also diabetic skin can be more prone to infection or poor healing if injured , especially , if blood sugar levels remain high.
