Shaft getting darker Posted: 07-09-08 10:01am


I'm a 25yr old male and its come to my attention that the shaft of my penis is gradually getting darker, darkly tanned if you will. My girlfriends noticed it and as a result so have I. I have no idea if this is detrimental in anyway, or if its just normal as an individual. I've searched the net and not got a lot back, aside from possible mentions of fungal based infections, however i do not have any other symptoms such as itching or heated sensations. I'm at a bit of a loss so would greatly appreciate any pointers, cheers!

Probably a change in skin pigmentation? I have the reverse, I am loosing pigmentation and its turing lighter. I don't think its anything to worry about if that is the only thing happening.

That is a strong possibility, I've read a few comments via my internet searches that referenced changes in melanin as a naturally selective adaption in some populations... just seems a little localised to me, although these are 'priority' areas for keeping sun away from if you are of fairer skin i guess. I will ask a doctor when i get the opportunity just to be sure. Thanks for the swift reply, MikeH90.
