I would keep a possibility of genital molluscum contagiosum.
How long since you have these? Are you sexually active? I request you to upload a few more good quality images so that i am able to judge better.
Genital molluscum can be either cauterised with a chemical or an electrocautery.

Hi.
This looks like molluscum but i want to be absolutely sure about my diagnosis and therefore i requested you for a few more good quality images but i haven't received them yet.
Molluscum is contagious. It can spread to neighboring skin as well to others during sexual contact. However it is easily curable by either chemical cauterisation or electrocautery. There is no otc preparation for molluscum.
