A member asked:
What can i do to address the darkened skin on base of penis shaft?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why be concerned?: Penile shaft skin and scrotum are more pigmented in all men unless all their skin is black. Pigmentation of genitalia is often uneven so that skin at base can be darker. This is almost certainly normal. Feel free to send a secure photo via email if still concerned.
