Brief Answer:
Warts

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query and photograph.

You have developed genital warts.
It is an infection caused by virus.
The infection is usually transmitted sexually.
If you have any sexual contact, please check with your partner if there are such lesions present on your partner's body.
It can be treated with the use of podophyllotoxin resin.
It is a chemical which needs to be applied to the lesion twice a week for 4 weeks.
Please meet a dermatologist and get yourself treated.

Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
