Enlarged Veins on Penis

Over the past few months and years, I've noticed  more visible superficial veins on my penis while flaccid. They are soft to touch, painless, and become less prominent when there is cold temp. No redness, swelling, or tenderness. I see smaller new veins appearing as well especially post sexual activity. I'm mainly concerned about whether this is normal and whether any treatment is needed.  Also more importantly, I'm cosmetically worried about how it looks.

History of Present Illness: During the 3rd–4th week of June 2026, I used a condom that was too tight during intercourse. The condom tore, and I had to remove it by forcefully stretching the tight ring. I subsequently developed pain around the underside of the penis near the frenulum and inner foreskin. On 29 June 2026, while bathing, I accidentally washed the area with a scented soap (similar to Kuppaimeni soap) and experienced sudden worsening of the pain. Since then, the symptoms have persisted daily. The skin feels dry and develops small cracks or splits, especially after drying or gentle retraction of the foreskin.
