A member asked:

Is it normal to have black skin on scrotum?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Lin answered

Yes ...: Darker color on scrotal skin is normal because genital area is sex hormonal sensitive so its color undergoes its natural change from childhood to puberty/adolescence to adulthood just like similar change in female genital region and areola of breasts throughout life and during pregnancy. So, what you noticed is normal. If still in doubt, ask Doc timely.
