Brief Answer:
Looks like sexually transmitted disease.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and also see the photo you attached and here is my advice.

The photo lesion doesn't look like herpes genitalis neither as friction lesion.
It and the tenderness in lymph nodes in groin area can possibly be related to sexually transmitted disease such as syphilis but yet this has to be verified by sst test.
Get tested for sexually transmitted disease.

Hope I have answered the question .
