Usually normal: Penis skin is usually the same as or darker than the surrounding skin. However, if a person has darkened neck and armpits skin, he can check with a doctor to see if there is a hormonal imbalance. The doctor can also look at the penis color and offer an opinion.

Bumps: Please see your doctor about your penis.

Why are you: Smelling your penis in the first place? I doubt that you have a problem, but check w/your physician if you're concerned.
