Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a genital herpes. This viral infection is usually activated in case of a weak immune system. This virus is transmitted through sexual intercourse, so you probably both have it. I suggest you both to test for this virus to confirm the diagnosis and take proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
