both sides of inner thigh.. help please..

Ok so 1 week ago I started working out and then I noticed what seemed to be like ingrown hair, open sores or bumps that were completely painless and I only noticed them 1 week later in the shower, some of them have hair grown out of them but there is 1 of them that just seems to be an open sore or something, I am a bit overweight and during this week did some running so maybe its chafing ? Could it be herpes even though they are totally painless and are only available on both sides of inner thights and nowhere else ? Nothing is on the groin area or penis shaft or anything, just both sides of inner thigh, please look at all pictures thanks.

These are pics of the right side:

That depends a bit on the sexual history in the couple of weeks leading into the emergence of the symptoms.

Thanks so much for your reply, are you pretty sure they arent herpes ? Is it possible to skip all the herpes stages and just get healed sores like mine ? They are painless and no itch or anything, what do you think it might be ?

This doesn't look like herpes at all.

If you've had a few sexual partners and not known much about their STD status then perhaps consider an STD panel explicitly asking for IgG antibodies type specific for HSV1 and HSV2.

I would also like to add that I discovered that the area is also somewhat dry and dandruff is in the area, it is kind of wet in the pictures thats why it doesnt show.
