Regarding genital erosions
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
Painful blisters/ erosions on genitalia could be those of genital herpes. It is an STD and your partner could be having silent infection. I request you to kindly upload a few images of the affected area in "Reports section " so that I am able to have a look and guide you accordingly.
Hope to assist you further with your query.

Brief Answer:
Regarding genital lesions
Detailed Answer:
thank you. I have reviewed the image.
This could be genital herpes. Another possibility is that of bacterial folliculiris. I suggest you to take a test for herpes antibodies now and repeat after 4 weeks. You may also take a PCR for hsv 2 from one of the fresh lesions for quick confirmation. Antibodies against herpes simplex virus may take time to appear if this is a recent infection hence I have told you to repeat the test for herpes antibidies after 4 weeks.
You may use a topical antibiotic e.g mupirocin ointment or neosporin ointment twice daily for these lesions. Can take an oral anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen twine a day for pain.
Take care
