That appears to be moist dermatitis. Rukas really needs to see a vet for this condition. He also has some dermatitis in the groin area that I can see in the picture. Since the sores next to the penis are open and weeping he will likely need oral antibiotics to get that to clear up. While you are waiting to get him an appointment at your vet you can apply a thin layer of Neosporin to them 2-3 times per day but he will likely just lick it off. If he is licking it you can go to Petco and get him an E-collar (cone). https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/dog/dog-health-and-wellness/dog-ecollars/contech-procone-soft-recovery-collar Hope this helps. Best wishes.
