Brief Answer:
Not looking like genital herpes

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph.
It is not looking like genital herpes.
Herpes is associated with painful fluid filled blisters which rupture to form superficial erosions.
Did you have anal sex?
If yes, these symptoms could be due to friction associated with it.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further questions.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
