Brief Answer:
Could be due to excessive friction or due to herpes.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Sorry for not being able to respond faster.

Coming to the point, there are two possibilities to consider. The first is that excessive friction caused the two layers of skin to separate and let fluid collect in between, thus giving rise to the blister. The other possibility is some sexually transmitted infection like herpes where blisters are likely to be formed. But the characteristic of the two types of blisters would be very different. Most importantly, the latter are more likely to be painful.

Hope that helps.
