Hi,

If you don't have fever or burning, itching or pain over there, this is unlikely to be herpes. As there are no lesion on, or discharge from penis, chance of other STD also is less.

They may indicate superficial boils that were de-roofed while shaving or other form of dermatitis. You can try applying local antibiotic creams like mupirocin twice daily for 5 days. If not getting better by then, kindly get it examined with your doctor. Meanwhile keep the area clean and dry.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
