Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The color of the skin and internal sensitive area is not all uniform. The sun tan color hue is normal and nothing to worry. You are supposed to be able to pull the foreskin back and clean the area twice daily. Otherwise, remnants of urine, dust, microorganism etc can contaminate that part and it may lead to itch and burning. You can use some olive oil or some other mild oil to apply and eercise the forskin back and forth slowly and steadily. After some days pulling back of the foreskin should become much easier. The area beneath the foreskin is sensitive and it should irritate when you touch and this hould also be cared for with practice.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
