Worried that I might have balanitis. No real symptoms just the colour.

Is this normal or should I be worried?

looks very normal to me 2

I Kinda have the same thing… my penis keeps getting paler :confused:

To me your penile skin is certainly not healthy, you should not be worried though, it is very ‘normal’ as well, as lots of men have this.
Most of these issues are down to what the skin of the head and upper-shaft of the penis are in regular contact with.
So in statistical terms the worst irritant is soap, then things like shower gel and other forms of body wash. Unless you have skin issues elsewhere on the body … ?
In addition lots of males apply things like baby oil, skin creams or lotions for masturbation - or even actual lubes for sex. The problem is when penile skin is distressed as the photo shows, often, basically anything else that is applied to the skin will make the situation either worse, or keep the problem on-going.
The best base-line to start from is to exclude ALL soaps and other forms of body wash from even contacting this skin. Use water only, warm, never hot - rub with the fingers and inside of the hand in running water from the tap or shower to clean.
PLEASE NOTE: for the skin to start to even begin to look any different you will need to take the approach I have detailed for at least 5, 7 or even more months …
