Likely Herpes,needs work up
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me
Pardon the delayed reply due to bad weather and out of order network here. I am sorry the problem persists. But the incomplete history and missing the point of blisters on your genitals made me suspect some sexually transmitted disease. After no response to UTI treatment, your current status of these blisters and painful urination all point towards a herpes infection or a genital wart due to some other condition like condylomas , chancroid etc.
These symptoms are likely due to herpes involving urethral meatus thus causing frequency and painful urination symptoms.
Here is what you need to do. Get a course of antiviral for genital Herpes prophylactically. Get a blood test for HSV antibody, viral culture and PCR for the confirmation. Get all your partners tested. Get a complete STD panel assessment and rule out all the sexually transmissible causes. Latex condom protection is needed. Avoid intimacy for a while.
for the relief of the pain apply topical anesthetic gels and hydro cortisone gels for the relief.
Seek an infectious disease specialist and let them help you in this regard. An internist is also good. Who ever is available at earliest convenience. You need work up and antivirals.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
