Hi XXXXXXX.

My opinion is that this is probably normal but you need to provide me more information. do you have any rash or discharge? Or tingling or itchy sensation? are u sexually active? do you have burning sensation while urinating? Did the whole penis change color or just some part of it. see yi i am waiting for these answers...
