Painless red spots/bumps on glans and under foreskin

Hi, I recently had protected sex (unprotected oral sex though) about 15 days ago and about 3 days ago noticed small red painless bumps on the head of my penis and under the foreskin.  It seems to me like the spots mirror each other from the foreskin to the head of the penis.  They range in size from very small pin sized to the size of a normal pimple.   I've been reading up on all the symptoms of herpes and see that some people can have no symptoms or very light ones, and am pretty freaked out.  There is no itching, pain, blisters, etc., so I'm really hoping this could be something else.  It's been about 3 days and the spots/bumps don't appear to be improving or getting worse.  Any ideas/suggestions??  Thanks.

Yeah, I've been on the road for a while and haven't been able to make an appointment with my GP yet, but I plan on it when I get back home.  Thanks for calming my nerves some, though. :-p

Little red bumps aren't suggestive of herpes, but a doctor who can examine you will be able to better tell.

It could also be a fungal infection, a bacterial thing - really, you just need to see your doctor.
