Hello it is possible that you have an infection such as yeast, trichomonas, vulvodynia, or an STD. It is possible that your partner had a yeast infection and passed it on to you (is your partner symptomatic?). It is not uncommon for a partner to have an undetected infection and you just keep passing it back and forth because without proper treatment it will not go away.
Other things to check on that may be causing the problem is to ensure you are using the proper lubricant (such as KY jelly) if the area you are entering is dry to avoid friction on the penis. If your partner uses douches, body sprays, or if you are using sexual body butters, or lotions or anything else that is scented it could contain colognes, perfumes, or alcohol, you could be having a reaction to them as well. If you are having sex too frequently this may be the cause.
You can try using some over the counter product such as Monistat, or Miconazole (that are for vaginal yeast infections) and covering the penis with it a couple of times daily for about a week. Make sure you wash the area and try thoroughly each time before application, and wash your hands well after to see if it helps relieve the symptoms. Have your partner treat as well, if you only have one partner. If the symptoms continue or worsen you need to visit your doctor to try to determine exactly what is causing the problem.
