i just wanted to find out why the color of my penis and testicles is darker than the rest of my body. I do not know if it matters, but i am of Asian descent. Also my penis itself has two shades. the half of my shaft close to my body is lighter while the other half going all the way to the head is darker

Hello.

What you have described here is normal. The skin of the genital area can have more of the Melanin pigment, which darkens the skin color. There are physiological reasons behind this. Also, having two shades of color on the penis is normal. Avoid getting too anxious due to this issue.

Hope this helps.

You are very normal.
This is what most Asian men have.
Usually the penis and anus area and under armpits
are brown compared to the white skin from rest of body.
