Brief Answer:
No need to worry much for this.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the images, you have attached.
It looks like friction burns more. Chances of STD ("Sexually Transmitted Disease) associated skin rashes are very very rare.
But better to use condom from now onwards.
Avoid unprotected sex.
At present, wear cotton undergarments only, avoid moisture and keep proper hygiene of private parts.
This rash will mostly improve in 1 week. But if not improving or worsening than consult dermatologist and rule out STD s.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
