Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for query. Iam Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic. I have gone through the details.

It appears it is either due to friction or fungal infection.It may be due to dryness or dry sex leading to cuts too.You can use lubricants.
Females require more time for second consecutive intercourse.

Cleaning the area with warm water twice daily followed by application of topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin would be helpful.
It does not appear due to Herpes.
You can consult your doctor for examination and management .

You can get back for any clarification.
