Flats ones are harmless, right? Any Idea why they come on? Will they turn into any skin disease in future? any underlying reason..

it is best to have any dark coloured spot or skin pigmentation looked at by a skin specialist just to put your mind at ease but most things are benign skin conditions like skin tags or just darker pigmentation to the skin anything new should be looked at just for peace of mind really

there is also a condition called Penile melanosis looks bad but is benign It's characterized by small patches of dark skin on the penis. This change in color is known as hyperpigmentation, and it occurs when melanin (brown pigment) forms deposits in the surface layer of skin which could be what the photo is above

Let's be clear, it doesn't look like any STD. The only STDs that may cause genital lesions months after exposure is HPV and Granuloma Inguinale.
It doesn't look like HPV.
It doesn't look like Grauloma Inguinale. Very rare in developped countries.
Just see a skin specialist. If it's painless it may just be a simple pigmentation or just melanosis.
You may have it for a long time without noticing it. If you think, you have it from today, go see a dermatologist just to rule out some malignant conditions and for your peace of mind.
it doesn't look like any malignant condition ( melanoma). But better to see a dermatologist for a better diagnosis because many conditions may cause pigmentations in the genitals, most of them are not life threatening.
It's more likely to be a simple permanent pigmentation, melanosis, or just small hyperpigmentation due to itch of egzema if you had it recently. Hyperpigmentation last months to one year. It doesn't look like Neavus.
