My dog's scrotum changed from pink to black. Should I be worried?

Pet's info: Dog | American Bulldog (duplicate) | Male | 44.09 lbs

I have a 3 yo male unneutered American bully. I have been observing that color of his scrotum earlier was light pink in color but now it has turned blackish but he is eating , defecating and urinating normally. Is there anything to worry????

Sometimes dogs start to have more pigment in various areas of their skin as they start to age - it's possible that this is just pigment and nothing to be concerned about. If Dollar has been licking the area or if he has had a skin infection on his scrotum this could also lead to black pigment in the skin. I would recommend having your veterinarian take a look when you're able to make an appointment.
