Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query and evaluated the picture you have provided.

Considering the fact that you and your partner have been tested for all std and since you don't have any other symptom like discharge or other lesions present,most likely it is just a sore due to friction (sexual intercourse or rubbing against underwear ).
It will heal in it's own for 1-2 weeks.You should keep the area clean.
Wash it with warm water after urination ,wear cotton loose underwear.
You can apply an antibacterial cream like neosporin twice a day to prevent any bacterial infection until it heals.
You can also use a diaper rash cream like A&D or aloe vera gel to ease the discomfort.

You don't need to worry.It doesn't seem to be related to any infectious disease.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question.I will be happy to help.

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
