Hello, I noticed that skin on my penis is getting darker and the skin is shiny, I also can t retract skin since I was 15 and I didn t had problems with that while having sex with my fiancee. I m 25 now and have this problem, can you tell me what to do, I m really worried. Thanks in advance. P.S. I also have darker and rougher skin patch on my elbow and above leg ankles, it appeared 1 year ago.

Dear user
as said above penile skin has highest no of melanocytes and it is usually darker than skin over other parts of the body.
Lesions over elbow ,ankle can be many things like eczema, Psoriasis, friction Dermatitis.
So i suggest you to visit a dermatologist to get proper diagnosis and treatment .
Take care.
