Is There A Cream To Reverse Sun Damage To Scrotum?

Hey, I started to notice that my scrotum is becoming a shade of darker brown and a reddish hue. It also has become way more wrinkly and takes longer to go back to original shape (just less attractive looking overall) . The tip of my penis is also much redder than it use to be, almost like I m forever sun burned. A few years ago I use to go in a tanning bed (like 10 times total) and I was going in naked. Now, I understand that over exposure to heat and UV rays can cause wrinkling and more likely than not be irreversible. Though,I would like to get rid of the wrinkles, or at least alleviate some of it; I really just want to get my normal color back. Is there a cream or a way for me to reverse the sun damage I did? Or at least just bring back my my normal color? My penis tip and scrotum just look inflamed, please can you help me just get a normal color back.

Welcome to HCM.
Get examined by dermatologist first to rule out redness at the tip of penis.
It might be due to fungal infection,otherwise it looks to be hyper pigmentation after over exposure to heat.
Yes,it is irreversible to the some extent.
Take proper local care,avoid tight under garment.
You can apply calamine/aloevera gel locally regularly.
Be watchful locally for any further development.
Start steroid containing cream if required under guidance of your dermatologist.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
