Hallow Dear,
From your description, you seem to have some sexually transmitted infection - mostly either gonorrhoea of herpes genitalis.
The later one though self limiting is recurrent and also carries the risk of superadded bacterial infection. To prevent superadded bacterial infection, you may apply some antibiotic cream instead.
If it is gonorrhoea, it can be treated by antibiotics.
Please report to your Gynaecologist/STI specialist ASAP. Also, you may get your HIV test performed.
These being sexually transmitted infections, both the partners should get the treatment simultaneously and observe absolute sexual abstinence till both of you are declared completely cured.
I hope this helps you.
