Probability I've contracted herpes?

I'll begin by saying I'm a 27 year old male and i've had quite a lot of partners in my lifetime. Most of which have been protected with. Up until recently I've been ok and never had a problem with STDs. It all started about three weeks ago. I had a sexual encounter with a girl around my age, who we'll call Jessica. Everything seemed normal and ordinary as I was giving her oral sex. Meaning that I didn't see anything that would alert me that she could possibly have something that would give me the symptoms I am experiencing now. We had sex after and i was protected with a condom. The next few days I had sex with another girl, who we'll call Liz. These were unprotected encounters as we've been doing this for years and she chooses to only have sex with me this entire time. About four days after the first encounter with Jessica we had another encounter. This time I had been drinking and put my penis in without a condom. It was only for a second and I pulled out and put on a condom. That was the last time I have had sex with Jessica. For the next week I had been having sex with Liz every other day. The next day after having sex with Liz I played sports with the guys while wearing jeans. It was very uncomfortable around my genitals as it was extremely hot and humid outside. Later that night I had sex with Liz again. Its commonplace for me to not shower after sex and just fall asleep and this time was no different. The next day I got out of the shower to dry myself and I freaked when I noticed a rash on my penis. It consisted of red bumps in lines almost like rings around my penis. The lines went along the top and right side of my penis. The underside and left have never had any bumps. The lines  seemed to be in the creases of the skin that are formed when my penis is in its retracted or flacid state. After about two days the bumps started fading. It has been a week and there are no visible bumps, only shiny looking scarlike lines from where the bumps originated. Throughout the week the bumps never hurt, itched, or burned and never had fluid in or around them. My concern is that I may have contracted herpes. Does this sound like it could be herpes or could it be a rash due to all the action my penises has been having?

Update: Jessica says she has never had an STD and I am her second partner.
                Liz now says it burns when she urinates. I don't have that symptom.

Getting tested tomorrow.

you need to be seen and have a proper exam done. odds are this is not std related but it'll take a proper exam to find out.
