The best way forward would be to mange this as a wound. However, if you are not too sure of your sexual life, then getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases would be very important to identify the exact cause and propose solutions.
Cleansing daily with an antiseptic, preventing over heat by dressing light and avoiding constant friction with your underwear would be the main stay of treatment.
