What Causes Recurring Blisters Under Foreskin?

Hi, i have a problem with what seems like hives/ blisters that keep appearing under my foreskin. Sometimes they get better and seem to go away, leaving a small scar-like mark. Whenever i have sex or masturbate it seems to come back though.

Do you have any idea what this may be?

Dermatologic conditions are difficult to say without seeing them. This is a very good example of that. while it could be herpes, it is NOT LIKELY AT ALL.
Local irritation breaks the skin there in patterns of small holes. Local irritation:
1) occurs with rubbing 2) occurs immediately after rubbing 3) is only in the area of rubbing 4) goes up and down fast and can reoccur in under 30 days 5) can leave scars

Herpes is the opposite on each and every one of those.

While some of the possibilities are herpes, other skin or venereal infections, heck, even insect bites. None of those is at all likely, and just local skin breakdown is a more likely possibility.

Better lubricant mainly; You want one that allows surfaces to slide better not worse. So, THIN like olive oil not THICK like a gel.
