Hello!
According your symptom and medical history I think this could be an irritation skin from physical factors. Of course is important using condom to protect from STI but the condom can't protect you from the contact with infected skin (blisters) from herpes virus and syphilis. So,just to be sure to exclude STI you should do a blood test specially for HSV an syphilis (RPR-VDRL and TPHA). Blisters, like in your case can be caused as well by physical factors that irritate the skin, such as friction. Blisters caused by friction or burns are usually painful. What I suggest usually, is to leave blisters alone. Because blisters protect the underlying skin, breaking blisters open can increase the chance of infection. Protect blisters with a bandage and cover them until they heal on their own. If a blister breaks, wash the area with soap and water, then apply a bandage.
I hope my answer help you.I wish a quick recovery.
