Hello,
Your symptoms are indicative of penile melanosis. It isn’t a sexually transmitted infection and is a harmless condition. You should take care of your hygiene. You can apply soframycin cream if you find it uncomfortable. Get clinically examined by a local Urologist to confirm it is penile melanosis, hyperpigmentation.
Treatment is typically not recommended for penile melanosis. However, it can be removed for cosmetic purpose. Procedure of removal are by surgery, removal of the skin layer where there is excess pigment followed by a skin graft and resurfacing the skin to an acceptable appearance. Laser therapy is another procedure of removal.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
