Genital Herpes or Candida balanitis?

Ok, so i made the stupid mistake of having (protected intercourse, unprotected oral) sex with a call girl at my best friend's bachelor party in Montreal.  

So we had unprotected oral sex that she performed on me for a good 10 minutes because it was hard for me to get it up because i was buzzed from the alcohol, and we then proceeded to have protected intercourse with a condom. Afterwards i was in a rush to go out again so i quickly washed my genitals with soap.

The next day i noticed that i got a slight hickey on the tip of my penis, i guess due to some slight trauma of receiving oral for so long...but didnt think much of it.

Now its exactly 3 days later and when i woke up this morning i pulled back my foreskin (uncircumcised) and noticed under the head of my penis where my foreskin is, i have a red patch...it doesnt hurt or itch and doesnt bother me but it is a bit moist and slightly pink/red not extreme but a bit more color than the surrounding area.  No sores/lesions/blisters..just tender and a bit of color. This area im talking about is contained in foreskin that covers my glans.

My question is this genital herpes or just a bacteria infection?  I have already scheduled a STD check this friday for a full screening but i am freaking out right now.  I could use some help/answers.  

Thanks!!

Thanks Grace, although the color has faded a bit, i did notice one tiny little colored bump.  A single touch does not hurt but after multiple touches i get a sensation from that bump.  Now im really scared...

odds are this isn't genital herpes going on. going to be seen is the best course of action.

Can anyone comment?

Checked today and it looks like its getting better..almost back to normal, its def not getting worse.

Im hoping its nothing but i did have a bit of fatigue yesterday, which could be from my anxiety attack and freaking out...my other theory is since i have HSV1, and a outbreak of that just finished, if it was HSV2 it was really short in duration and had almost no symptoms.
What do you guys think??
