    Question

    Ok ... whenever i shower or wee, i see these two dark patches of skin around the penis ... its always dry ... so one day i rubbed lotion on it and it was ok ... i cant see a doctor about this cause my parents would think i had an affair, but the truth is i didn't.

    Answer

    All I can say is it's nothing to worry about, but you might try asking a dermatologist if you are worried.
