I've been noticing some red lumps or spots on the top part of my penis and lower scrotum. They're causing a lot of irritation and itchiness. I'm really concerned about what this could be. Any idea what might be going on, and should I be worried?

I'm noticing my skin tone is getting darker since I moved to Chennai, and I'm really concerned about it. I'm also breaking out with pimple-like wounds all over my body, which I think might be due to the heat. I usually walk to the office around 8:45 am, and my skin is exposed to the sun for just about 10 minutes. I use VLCC sunblock with SPF 30PA and even cover my face with a scarf, but the darkening is happening all over, including on areas like my legs, stomach, and back, which are covered. I'm not sure if it's just the sun causing this. Can you help me figure out how to lighten my skin tone?
