Looks like genital herpes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query and pictures. It looks like genital herpes.

Do you have any burning sensation or pain?
Is it associated with itching sensation?

You can go for herpes 1 and 2 blood test to rule out genital herpes.

Applying antiviral creams like acyclovir or aloe vera gel is helpful for this.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.

You can apply aloe vera gel daily. It is an antimicrobial as well as a cosmetic agent. Only in case pain and severe burning sensation oral intake of antiviral medications are needed.
