Please post clear and focused pictures.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your review query.
Only one picture is clear.
Please post clear photos.
The one clear picture show this to be balanoposthitis, simply an infection as we discussed previously and also talked about the treatment of both husband and wife simultaneously after consulting a Gynecologist.

We will discuss about the dark pink scar and white scar once you post clear pictures.
Take care as we already discussed.

Brief Answer:
Healing or fungal as per the pictures

Detailed Answer:
Has this occurred on its own or you had applied anything else other than Betadine?
These look to be due to healing of the balanitis, sort of scar or can be a fungal infection.
Fungal infection can give the similar picture.

Brief Answer:
Area covered by prepuce

Detailed Answer:
The white patch appears to be the exact area which will be covered by prepuce in normal position causing the more moister and hence causing the color differentiation.
No need to worry about such color changes in glans at this is not indicative of any disease or any concerns.

Brief Answer:
As detailed below.

Detailed Answer:
Cancer will have a swelling or an ulcer and you do not have either of it so this is not cancer.
If you continue reading more internet, you will be most confused to the extent of having cancer-phobia.
The skin covering the glans is called prepuce and when in resting position the part of the glans is covered by this prepucial skin and thus the sweat is entrapped and sort of causes the different color of the skin covering this particular area only and since you are recovering from balano-posthitis, you will see different color changes. This is not very specific and significant hence not a cause of any worry at the moment.

I hope this clarifies further.

Brief Answer:
Any reference for cancer ???

Detailed Answer:
Please give me a single reason for this to say as cancer.
