Brief Answer:
Warts/ vesicles

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Genital warts indicates an sexually transmitted disease due to Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which one can acquire after exposure from an infected partner.

If the warts / vesicles are painful then herpes needs to be looked for and treated empirically. If the vesicle is painless then syphilis needs to be ruled out.

The area needs to be examined. Please consult a venereal disease expert or a dermatologist to examine it for further management.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
