Wrinkly texture and pigment change on penis

Hi,
I am a 27 year old white male and am concerned about a change in the pigment and skin texture of my penis.  After long masturbation sessions(due to antidepressants causing delayed ejaculation)  resulting in recurring irritation, the shaft of my penis has become dramatically darker.  The skin on the shaft of my penis has changed to a fairly dark and uniform brownish-black color.  The head is still its normal colour. The skin is also a wrinkly texture which I'm worried is scarring. It doesn't hurt or seem all that dry or itchy as it did when I initially had the irritation. When I noticed this condition A little over a week ago I stopped masturbating and started moisturizing daily.  Immediately after I moisturize the skin the texture goes back to normal temporarily.  The skin texture improves after I have a hot bath as well but eventually goes back to the odd very wrinkly texture.  Do you think this is scarring and will the texture go back to normal?  Is the pigment change permanent?  What should I do and how long should I refrain from masturbation?

Hi Concerned, OK, look as we get older the skin on our p***s's gets darker, its the same as hairs will start growing out of your ears, like a forest, its just down to ageing, when your put moisturizing on your penis, and it goes the way you wont it to look the goes off, well try a little  extra next time and start doing 3 times a day, and when you get out of the bath, its because its soaked up water, and as it drys its just goes back to the way it was, thats just life.
The next thing is to see if you can start cutting back on your meds, if you think your over your depression, just kick them into touch, and get back to the real world, masturbating is ok if you try and keep it speacial say just a couple of times a week.
Look you can only see how you go.
Good Luck

Try sesami oil to massage.  It is good for the skin.
