Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks again.
According to information given by you (still you have not answered all my questions and I have not received any pics from you), it does not appear to be a specific venereal disease or STI.
It can be a nonspecific Balanitis. However a visit to your doctor will confirm the diagnosis.
Just follow my previous advise and you can apply mild steroid like hydrocortisone over the lesions.
They should subside within a weeks time.
Meanwhile avoid intercourse.Take a lot of water and everything will be fine.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
Regards,
