Your Question:
Dear Experts,
How come most guys I meet have more than one color on their penis? Like with the dark skinned guys the base and the shaft would be one color but the head would be slightly lighter. This really freaks me out like they got a disease or something.

The Answer:
Dear Gemini_88,
This is totally normal and not a symptom of a disease. Many guys who have been circumcised have a dark ring around their penises right below the head where the foreskin was cut. This coloration is totally normal, especially among guys who have a lot of pigmentation in their skin. Some guys also have different colorations on their penises, whether or not they are circumcised. This is just extra pigmentation, and it's nothing to worry about.
Hope this information helps!
Take care,
