Brief Answer:
It may be STD or fungal infection. apply antifungals. consult dermatologist

As you have different sexual partners, there can be a chance of STD if any of your partner has STD (sexually transmitted disease). Though, the symptoms do not match with STD infection. To my mind, it's more likely to be fungal infection.
As i told you, a photograph is better to guide you.
You can apply anti fungal as advised you before. in case of STD, you may require antibiotic treatment.
Local examination is necessary for actual diagnosis and in such case , consultation with dermatologist will be helpful to you.
HOPE YOU ARE SATISFIED.
