I've noticed for about a month now that the underside of my penis seems to be a bit lighter in color compared to the rest. There's also this itchiness that feels really good to scratch, but I'm not sure if that's a bad sign or not. Any idea what might be going on and what I should do about it?

I'm really worried because since last night the glans of my penis has become swollen, and now the foreskin can't cover it. It's like the swollen part is sticking out past the foreskin. The sensitivity is intense and it's painful whenever I touch it. How long should I expect this swelling to last?
