Brief Answer:
Could be herpes. Post photo.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
T XXXXXXX you for the query.
I understand your concern.

Based on your description, I think you would have caught an STD like Herpes.
It is very difficult to make a diagnosis without examining you. If possible kindly post photos of affected area.
I would suggest you to get it examined thoroughly by a dermatologist.
If it is a case of herpes, you will be prescribed an antiviral like Acyclovir.
Also abstinence from sex till complete treatment is a must.

Hope this helps.
