do i have warts, herpes, or something else

i am 19-year-old male, and yesterday i was showering and as i was washing my penis i noticed 3 small pinkish red spots on the head of my penis and 1 on the upper part of the shaft. there were no bumps or anything, the surface was the same as the rest of my penis. today i checked again and the red spots are still there, and the 2 on the head seem to have small bumps in the middle now. i'm not sure if it is important, but i am also uncircumcised. i have only had sex with 2 people, both were virgins and had no stds. also, i recently developed a small wart on my right index finger. i checked a bunch of websites online and they all said that finger warts could not be transmitted to the genital area, but it just seemed coincidental that i got this wart on my finger and then a couple weeks later i got the red marks. i also looked at pictures online of genital warts and herpes but these marks on my penis did not appear to be that, but i can't be sure since i'm no doctor. all the pictures online seem to be extreme cases (maybe they aren't but i can't tell). the last time i had sex was about three of four weeks ago, but i had sex with that partner many times before and nothing like this ever showed up. i was wondering if these red marks on my penis could be an std or something else (if it is an std is there somewhere i could have gotten it other that sex?). i have an appointment with planned parenthood in a week to get tested for stds, but i've been agonizing over this like crazy and i jus wanted  to get some sort of diagnosis a little earlier.

Red marks on the penis do not suggest an STD.  The wart on your finger is not coincidental, just irrelevant.  I suggest you leave the marks alone and ignore them.  If they're still there when you see Planned Parenthood, have them take a look.  Then forget about it, if that's what they suggest you do.

Best.

really all it is lots of very small bumps on the head of my penis. Seems like i probably noticed them about a month ago,but for all i know could have always been there. i ve been having unprotected sex with the same girl for about 4 months. The bumps havent really changed,flesh-colored, dont hurt or brother me, besides looking at them. makes me really nervous,could they be warts??
