Hello,
This hyperpigmentation is due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The treatment for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation includes various skin creams like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment. Hydroquinone is not without side effects and should be used after a dermatologist’s guidance only especially on the thin skin of penis. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
