Brief Answer:
Suspected Genital warts

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

The lesions seen on the images provided and based on your history, are not likely to be caused by Herpes. Based on the images you provided, the most likely diagnosis is Genital warts. Though other conditions like Condyloma Acuminata, syphilis and early stage granuloma inguinale can also present with similar growths initially. Keeping in mind the sexual history, an STD panel should be done to have some evidence before treatment is initiated for either of the clinically suspected causes.



wishing you best of health
