hi, darkness on skin at the penile region can be due to fungal infection, insect bite. in case of insect bite their will be itching and fever can be present. In fungal infection there may or may not be itching and fever. An examination by doctor should be done so that proper diagnosis can be made. You should not take this lightly because it can spread rapidly. Take care.
