Brief Answer:
Fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.
I have gone through the query and have checked the attachments. You probably have a fungal infection. It is definitely not herpes. Apply candid (clotrimazole) lotion and/or powder over the affected area. Keep the area clean and do y. It should soon be OK.
