Coconut oil can be brightening. Just watch out for the possible comedogenic property of it! Some get issues, some don't. (Issues include clogged pores and therefore pimples etc..)
One can actually do oil pulling ("gargling" with coconut oil) to get brighter teeth. Or so the idea seems to be, I haven't done it so much, but I'm trying, should be beneficial against enlarged tonsils as well.

When you say brighten, do you mean lighten? I guess what I am asking is does it reduce discoloration? Comedogenics I am used to from shaving and vaseline wet work.

Yup, brighten or lighten, for teeth I guess brighter would be more accurate. Coconut oil does have great properties and is suitable for many things!
And truly, skin type does have a big say how coconut oil works on external level. I'm doing some oil pulling or trying to adapt that to my life, but new rituals or routines take their time to become truly day-to-day basis regime.

Very cool! I have a spot the size of a nickel of discoloration. It has been with me from the beginnings of my career. I will try this on that spot. If it can fix my discoloration that is 18 years old, it will heal any discoloration.
 
Coconut didn't do the trick. I was posting too early. It is more or less the same as before. But I make sure that it gets some oil now and then to at least get rid of dry skin.

Did you try the Apple Cider Vinegar already?

Yes, similar result. Coconut oil maybe a little bit better. But both seem to work better than lotion. Or maybe I started caring more in general. Anyway from now on always some oil (baby oil, coconut oil) in the pump while water pumping outside of the shower.

Good to know. I will grab some coconut oil at the store tonight to give it a go.

Yes, it is also good for cooking and baking!

So I cut my penis shaving a few weeks ago and as a result a skin tag formed. I looked up ways to remove skin tags, found out applying apple cider vinegar helps. Two times a day, I've been putting it on and yes it has helped the skin tag. But what's even more interesting is the permanent bruise I caused myself from clamping beyond my limits started to fade, and now is virtually gone. I've never heard of this before, so if anyone with discoloration would like to try this, please do. I want to know if I found something cheap and useful, or if it just faded away on its own over the last week.

BUMPING! Someone just inquired about your genius post!
 
Be interesting to know how this works to remove the discoloration.

It’s a very simple therapy you just apply apple cider vinegar to your penis where there’s discoloration and for many people it will lighten these areas back to normal.
 
I'm talking about the science as to how it works. See my thread on what exactly discoloration is.
It’s due to the acid test contained in the Apple cider vinegar it is strong enough to help eliminate discoloration from upper dermal areas. It is kind of like the skin peel but much more gentle. It does take time to make this work but it has worked for many men.
 
As DLD put it, the acids in ACV are the "magic." There are others acids out there as well, for cosmetologic use. ACV is easy to get and relatively easy to dilute to certain strength. Straight up ACV can be a bit too harsh for some, it's best to dilute it a bit as the skin on our penises isn't that thick.

I don't have any research material to back this up though. Good bump on that "What exactly discoloration is" thread!
As said, there are others products than ACV but it's a good product to try at least. If it doesn't work for discoloration, then there are other benefits of ACV. I drink ACV tonic occasionally.
If I happen to get a flu and a sore throat on top of it, ACV tonic has helped in those situations.
