They look like herpes lesions.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

Yes they look like Herpes lesions. Herpes lesions do not always cause symptoms(i.e. Pain/sore/itch/tenderness as you've rightly pointed out) .
Please consult your local doctor and get swabs taken from lesion for culture for confirmation.

I would like further information for better assessment like
-any history of recent unprotected sex?

If you have further concerns do write to me. I will be happy to answer.

Best wishes
Dr Rama
