I'm not a doctor, but I can try to provide some information. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are usually caused by bacteria entering the urinary system and affecting the bladder or urethra. If left untreated, UTIs can sometimes lead to more severe conditions like kidney infections.

Regarding skin lesions on your penis that could potentially be linked to a UTI, it's less common for bacterial infection from the urinary tract alone to cause visible sores on the genital area. Skin lesions around genital regions may often be associated with sexually transmitted infections such as herpes or other viral conditions rather than solely due to bacteria from a UTI.

If you notice any unusual symptoms like redness, blisters, ulcers or open sores on your genitals including your penis then it is advisable seek medical advice promptly for evaluation and accurate diagnosis of their underlying cause which might include STDs/STIs differentiation.
It would also generally recommend practicing good hygiene habits and seeking prompt treatment if there are concerns about potential health issues in this regard.
For further clarification consult healthcare provider directly based upon individual needs & specific situation!
