Brief Answer:
It can be most likely genital herpes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to genital herpes. If you upload a picture of the rash in report section then it will be more helpful.
Taking antiviral drugs like acyclovir or Valacyclovir will be helpful. You can also apply acyclovir cream for local application.
Using ice water will be helpful to relieve irritation and pain. You can also take NSAIDs like ibuprofen for pain.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
