Brief Answer:
Possibility of genital herpes
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.
Seems like it could be genital herpes. It usually presents as grouped, discrete, erosions with pain and burning sensation. Though protected sex reduces the risk but does not entirely eliminate the risk of transmission of herpes simplex virus. It could be an old infection which is manifesting as genital erosions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
